The rest area is perfect. I'm sure Delta will design a special cargo pallet that fits right there and we'll get seat 6B.

Remember, Richard is the guy who brought the first Airbus to North West. He loves Airbus, and he hates spending money (the last DC9 just now retired).
Notice what he just ordered, a bunch of 321's and 10 330's.
I doubt if we'll ever see Richard order another new Boeing widebody, he is constantly talking down the 777 as a jet with nowhere to go.
