I agree with you, but don't hold your breath. This company has had 40ish A319-320's on the books forever. The network and all the pieces are in place to take delivery of a terrific pilot and pax friendly plane. Sure its not as eff as a NEO, but a very capable and eff airplane none the less.

Our load factors are amazing. We could use all 40 tomorrow and get rid of a mess of 50 seat RJs in the process, or add routes. More seats in markets means more revenue, so I guess that's what kills this idea right from the start. Plus, our long suffering pax would have to make the step up from a 50 seat to an EMB 170, a Guppy or an Airbus. So, there's the second nail in the coffin.

Just when you think it can't get mo' worser, it gets mo' worser. If I were a young buck looking for a job today, this place would be way down my list of picks. Hopefully someone will turn this place around.
