Bonjour !
C'est toujours chaud du côté de AA ! Pour des A320 ... ou des 737 !
Bombardier bizarrement out ??
La pression sur Boeing, dans tous les cas, admettre qu'il faudrait descende des prix déjà "préférentiels" Sic ??? depuis 15-20 ans !
Et les autres clients US au balcon, et attendant les résultats de la bataille, pas bon non plus pour Boeing !
Ouarf, un exercice de grand écart bien difficile pour Jim Albaught !
Et Airbus parle maintenant de prix de fin de série pour les A320 classic, et compte se refaire avec les NEO !
Autant dire que les prix des A320 Classic seront au plancher, pour remplir 2014-15, avec un client qui ne peut attendre 2016, pour une part de sa flotte, c'est presque idéal pour la fabrication Airbus !
Les chiffres annoncés aussi sont importants !
130 A320 Classic's et 130 320 NEO, 260 / AC alors qu'il y a moins de 200 MD 80 à remplacer ... hum !
Ou sont les A321 NEO ??
Bien, gagné ou perdu pour Airbus, JL, est dans un de ses exercices mktg favoris, impliquant des financements compliqués, car AMR n'est pas au mieux !
A suivre, mais Boeing visite AMR today !
QQ opinions sont intéressantes sur A.net, certains ont pu lire l'article complet !

Airbus is aiming to break Boeing's monopoly at American Airlines and
has assembled a team of lenders and leasing firms to help the European
Aeronautics Defence & Space Co. unit dangle almost $6 billion in
preferential financing for a potential order of over 250 jetliners.
Airbus is offering American 130 of the current-generation A320s and
130 of the more fuel-efficient A320neo, the new engine option slated to
enter service in 2015. Chicago-based Boeing, meanwhile, is treading a
thin line in its offer that won't hurt its bargaining position at other
airlines.
Boeing is expected to meet with American officials on Monday. The
Airbus rival is racing to develop a product strategy for its
best-selling 737 model to compete with redesigns of the A320.
Boeing faces intense pressure from American and other airlines to
decide whether it will update or replace the single-aisle 737, a
workhorse of American's short-distance fleet. The carrier already has
more than 50 of the 737 on order.
Separately, satellite-operator Iridium Communications Inc. is set to
provide enhanced navigation and traffic-control services for jets flying
across oceans and, eventually, over remote polar regions.
By obtaining regulatory approval to use digital data to keep track of
jets on isolated, long-range routes, Iridium is expected to help
carriers such as Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines Inc. and cargo
operators save fuel, reduce emissions and make it easier for aircraft to
maneuver around storms. The new services also will reduce pilot
workload in the cockpit, the company said. Industry officials said the
new services, approved last month by the U.S., represent an important
step toward international cooperation on satellite-based
air-traffic-control networks.

Quoting ytz (Reply 123): Excellent article by the Wall Street Journal: |
For those who don't have subscriptions, the article is entitled "Boeing,
Airbus Give AMR Hard Sell" from tomorrow's Journal. Some highlights:
* Airbus has assembled "almost $6 billion in preferential financing" from lenders and leasing firms
* Airbus' offer is for 130 A320s and 130 A320neos
* Boeing is " treading a razor's edge in its offer that won't hurt its
bargaining position at other airlines," and Boeing Commercial President
Jim Albaugh is scheduled to meet with AA tomorrow offering a mix of 737-800s and -900ERs
* AMR's board may make a final decision as soon Wednesday
* Airbus is heavily discounting the 'end-of-the-line' (my term, not the article's) A320s for AA and is offering "excellent terms" on the A320neos
* One consultant said that a split deal or loss for Boeing isn't disastrous, as it may lift Boeing from its obligations under the previous exclusivity deal with AMR and allow Boeing to charge higher
prices on future AA orders
* Gordon Bethune says he sees AA switching "for the right deal"
* Based on the wording of the article, it appears American does, indeed,
want to substantially update their narrowbody fleet (the MD80s) within
five years from today, not within five years from first delivery of this order
