It seems this winter has been a non starter with only 74 net Boeing aircraft ordered in three months. The chart below from Boeing's own website gives the impression of the winter Doldrums are not some sargasso sea kelp bed holding back the Ship of Washington State. After three robust sales order years from 2012-2013-2014 comes a seasonal pause . I wonder how Boeing handles the lull before another order storm? I do know Boeing has pending commitments in reserve clear from 2014 with nary a slip of tongue on potential orders.

(Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) is in talks with Jet Airways (JET.NS) about the sale of 737 MAX jets, a Boeing executive said on Thursday, while two other people familiar with the matter said the company had secured the $5 billion deal.
Dinesh Keskar, senior vice president sales for Asia Pacific at Boeing, said he was also in discussion with state-owned Air India AIN.UL over sales of the MAX jets, but that these talks were not as "intensely involved" as they were with Jet.
The two other sources said the Jet deal for 50 planes had essentially been completed and the planes were already listed under Boeing's "business with undisclosed customers", in its order backlog.

Friday it would buy 80 Boeing single-aisle
jets including the new 737 Max version amid a wave of aircraft purchases by
Chinese carriers from the U.S. planemaker and its European rival Airbus Group
NV. The airline is buying 60 of the 737 Max jets, which will feature new
engines, and 20 current model 737s with deliveries due from 2016, said a China
Eastern executive who declined to be named. The airline hasn't decided which
version of the 737 Max to acquire and could take some of the largest models,
the 737 Max 9.
Boeing this year has also won a 50 plane commitment from Guangzhou-based discount carrier 9 Air for its 737 single-aisle airliner, including the re-engined 737 Max version due from 2017.Shandong Airlines said in April it would buy 16 current model 737s and 34 of the future Max variant.
