Certainly the reality that DAL is parking their 57's for 900ER new deliveries should not weigh against the fact that CAL ordered a bunch of POS stretch guppies that will never replace the 57. Btw of the five flights you mentioned, three are nonstop which was what others scoffed at as unlikely in a guppy. Of those in the transcon market we have 1 757 and 2 700's. Guess Fifi isn't quite the end all to be all.

I believe the original comment was that the 800/900s weren't the pos's they are. I can't even start to count the times that my CAL Capt has stated that 737 was NOT the right acft for the airport we were at.
