Those are different jets and I can see us needing both...
The 773 at 350 seats, slides nicely between our 300 seaters (772 and 333) and the 400 seat 744...
We would need a few (single digits) to be able to flex the network based on demand.
The 333 after is just a little more than half the price of the 777.
I would imagine this is the financial sweet spot to add widebody capacity and free the existing 777LR for ULH missions...
I would imagine Delta would purchase quite a few more A333...
The ugly duckling in all this is the 340-600 and I would not be surprised to see us picking up a few on the cheap, It would be the widebody equivalent to the MD90 purchase...
