That is not surprising. Wonder if the growth for this size flying was based on the availability of a less expensive option to perform 737-800 type flying, or if keeping some of the 737-800's on order is now a consideration. Boeing and Airbus do not seem to be in any hurry to get a 737, or A320, replacement to market.
