The worst thing is this:
We are taking delivery of a bunch of new "old" airplanes, and we will be stuck flying them for another 25 years competing against newer aircraft. A320 NEO is a vastly better airplane.
Then a NG? of course. Compared to the 737 MAX we have on order a year behind the NEO, we will see...
Boeing 737 Max versus Airbus 320 neo
It would be nice to wait on parking the domestic 57 a few more years for the NEO, but it is clearly not practical. Hence why AMR and DAL are shifting their domestic lift away from the 57. The bean counters took over the engineering table a long time ago. Rather then pitching a fit about a 50 year old cockpit in a weight restricted POS, I do my job and go home. You want to see where weight restricted POS are chasing away customers, take a look at concourse F at ORD.
