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.
And the 737-900ER won't have this problem? I find that VERY hard to believe. Boeing claims just under 3300 miles, but that's with 2 AUX tanks. What will it do without those?
