> United already runs Airbus planes.

Is different from moving away from Boeing planes... United is one of the largest operators of Boeing planes in the world, they have plenty of room to shed Boeing and purchase Airbus.

United is the largest operator of 737 MAX 9s. They operate 80 MAX 8s, with another 50 ordered. They have ordered 150 MAX 10s (which have yet to be delivered nor begin operating).

The article points out that they have 79 planes from Boeing that are grounded. That it's impacting their ability to fly and finances. They may have Airbus planes but their whole fleet isn't Airbus.

> Worthless article.

Annoying binary black and white thinking.

United can shift the Boeing/Airbus tilt in their fleet towards Airbus going forward.

The fact that United already has some Airbus isn't the "gotcha" you think it is. Yeah, I already knew that factoid.

They do, but they are one of the biggest purchasers of the max.
