Why American Airlines and United Airlines hadn't order the Boeing 767-400?

Question

Why these airlines the two world's largest hadn't order unlike both Continental Airlines and Delta Air Lines? And is the 767-400 flight deck more modern than the 767-200 and 767-300 almost similar to the 777 flight deck?

Answer 1

money available for expansion and modernization not there.

Answer 2

Jose, they apparently did not need this aircraft. It was a judgment call that they made.

Answer 3

Well for one, they don't make it anymore so the order would go unfilled.

Also, they probably figured they had adequate aircraft in their fleet prior to Boeing shutting down the 76 production line a few years back and did not need any more aircraft.

Answer 4

That no true??? I've rode on them twice. Go to aa.com and the flight from RDU to Gatwick/Heathrow.

Answer 5

one thing could be that there is not $$$$$ for the renobation of their fleet or is that they accually dont need them because they have the boeing 767-300ER or they have the 777-200 that might be why. the deck is almost the same the most modern will be the deck of the Boeing 787
