The future of majors seem linked to big airplanes. The prevailing attitude is let the regionals fly 50 pax and below (slowly evolving to 80-90 pax) and we will fly the big ones. How big is big ? I know it sounds stupid but in my opinion Airbus airplanes that carry 500+ pax might as well have the word and symbol TARGET painted on the side. I'm not flaming or baiting but looking for an honest discussion of the continued growth of airplane size and passenger carring capability in the majors.
