U.S Airlines planning on replacing large amounts of aircraft

In the past few months, since even a year, u.s airlines have been talking and rumored on thinking on expanding or replacing aircraft on their fleet, specially in the case of American, Delta, and United Continental which all have aging fleets of certain types of aircraft.

 American for instance has been rumored to be considering purchasing Up to 250 narrow-body aircraft, this order could be split among airbus and boeing aircraft, which would break American's long-term only-preference for Boeing aircraft, of course many say this are just rumors, or that American could be saying this to push Boeing to make a decision wether to Re-engine the 737 or make an all-new airplane, or it could be to push Boeing to give cheaper aircraft prices to American.

We also have the case of Delta which has been saying that they would maybe order a big quantity of narrow-body aircraft to replace aging 757s, A320s, and DC-9s, they had said in January that they would be making a decision by 2011, which hasnt come out yet, theres the possibility of Delta purchasing Boeing 737s, Airbus A320s, or The Bombardier CSeries.

And United Continental, now having both the choice to expand their Airbus narrow-body fleet or their Boeing narrow-body fleet , they are considering a big purchase to replace some older A320s and 757s, this decision could be announced later this year.
