For Mode7
Nice to see you can read too...READ THE BOEING WEBSITE, IT SAYS AS OF MAY 31. THAT'S PRETTY UP-TO-DATE TO ME! Now turn the attitude dial down a little please, otherwise pull your head in!
Don't you think Boeing would be crowing about having 472 orders if they really did have them??? I believe that would be close to an all-time record year for orders, and we're only six months into it!
At the end of the day, it's only confirmed orders which Boeing and anyone else will count, not unconfirmed orders on a spotters website. Boeing tripped on this minor detail late last year when they bragged they would have 200 orders for the 787 by the end of the year - they were actually holding about 217 orders, but had only completed the negotiations on about half of them before everything shut down for Xmas - hence they were left with egg on their face because they refuse to announce unconfirmed orders.
Neither Air Canada nor Air India have signed anything - they have simply reserved production line spaces while they negotiate the prices for their aircraft - the final numbers could go down (or up) based on price - same goes for the Lion Air 737 order. Rumours abound that you might see some 'amendments' to the Air India order once all the shouting has died down.
OVER AND OUT!
