Why take an uncomfortable 757 and replace it with an even more uncomfortable 737 that can't go as far, carry as much, climb as well and looks like a pregnant water buffalo trying to get off the ground on a hot day and full load?
I thought they would have gone another direction.......
What direction did you think they would go? Have you ridden in a new 700 with the better seats and entertainment system? There were only three choices for delivery in 2013. A321, 900 or 900ER. If in fact they have picked the 900ER it clearly outperforms the other two options. The A321 is not a true transcon aircraft so limited on many routes for Delta.
