ual is reported to be planning international expansion of its routes,and also i am guessing they want to update and modernize their current fleet of aircraft..pilots are in short supply,so that means they will also need to update and plan for more pilots and crew to be hired..i wish them well..

Ya, they’re focusing on International, but it takes all day to get anywhere in the states with so few direct routes!
Terrible!

Boeing should offer Dream Liners/777x (in future) AND buy back United's wide bodies for conversion to freighters for that hot market.

United has a heck ton of older Boeing widebodies - their 767-300s are the oldest planes in their entire fleet and they still operate some of the first 777-200s to come off the assembly line. That being said, I wonder if United would even want to sell them back since they seem to like these planes quite a lot and seems to want to run them until they meet their service lives.

I am hoping that the competition is fair and AB does not get government subsidies so they can offer a lower cost. Boeing cannot get government subsidies.

I expect promised delivery dates will be key to which company gets the huge order.

IMHO, this will come down to price and other benefits (% of build done in USA) as the order is large. Hopefully there will be T&Cs that would protect them from any future Boeing misteps / failures. That company is not stable at this time.
