MOL is clearly playing a game, one that he will win simply because of the amount of orders he wants to place. Boeing wont pass up an oppertunity in this climate to sell 200 737s.

It is not only Boeing who wants a customer for 200x 738s.. Ryanair also have to find customers willing to buy their 200+ 738s.
FR so far ordered 338 aircraft, 236 were delivered, around 200 in current operation. Even if FR will grow to 250 or even 300 aircraft fleet (which I doubt), they still have to dispose 200+ aircraft.

I am suprised any airlines is looking at such a large order in a time when the airframers are looking at the Geared turbofan from PW and the LeapX from CFM. Jump in now and you could see a product coming in with a 15% fuel efficency leap in a few years time.
Also, what is keeping that Bombardier C-Series out of the equation? Looks an excellent fit on the face of it.

Callum, Ryanair have maintainance facilities and hangars at Stanstead, Dublin and Prestwick. All three facilities handle the regular maintainance of the fleet but most of the heavy maintainance is carried out at Prestwick.
Almost all Ryanair bases also have line engineering facilities, This is simply Engineers who look after the aircraft in service while on the ramp. They too can carry out routine checks etc.

"So obviously Boeing accepted FR's price request but fine tuned another contract detail instead."
Could someone be having some fun with the kaiser of add-on charges? Boeing could go down the route of selling the basic model, but the GLX costs a wee bit more.

Ever seen Fred McCauley on Mock The Week with the MOL buying a pint of Guiness in a bar gag?
"That's 50p Michael."
"Yes that IS cheap."
"Well it's another £1 if you want a head."
"And £2 for the glass....."
Boeing should try the same approach. Sell him 200 737 with no engines, just leave it in the VERY small print...

Maybe something to do with MOL not wanting the "baggage hold" option.
Getting back to the GTF powerplants, there was an article in Aviation week recently about Airbus making some sort of progress with the powerplant on the 320 family. They are likely to be ahead of Boeing with the next gen powerplant in anycase.
Air NZ are also to be the first customer with the new winglets.

dubh12000,
I'm also perplexed why Ryanair wouldn't consider moving to a next generation aircraft with more fuel efficient engines such as the Bombardier C series. The largest version is 149 seats which isn't small and would enable Ryanair to compete on thinner routes. A Bombardier/Ryanair deal would really make Bombardier a player in this segment of the market!
