Why?

Those planes are 1:1 replacements, not growth.
I'm on the 737, but I would hate to see LAX 737 grow as the LAX 76ER category shrinks. Worse yet the trips paid as 767 trips will now be paid at 737 rates, so as a pilot group, we all just got promised a smaller bag of money in the future.


Other than that a plane is a plane, my interests are more where is it based, what does it pay...
