Just a thought but a C-Series sitting between the 717 and 738, that's a crowded field. Currently, you have a 117 MD-88s at 149 seats, 10 737-700s at 124, 57 A319s at 126, 69 A320s at 150, throw the 65 MD-90s in for good measure at 160 seats.
I guess the C-Series 300 seats at 130 seats? Hmmm.
Any word on the MD-88 and NextGen? Because my bet, knowing Continental and now Delta, is they're getting an RFP for an MD-88 replacement and replacing MD-88s with 130 seaters and I doubt it'd make it to a 1:1 replacement, probably less. A319 vs CS300, who wants to make a deal?
/Capacity discipline.
If the CS300 came in and the 88s exited stage left, we're going to start to have an even more random fleet then we do now.
My understanding is they have no plans for any additional narrow body jets at this point. Comments about a 130 seat jet are for after the 2020 timeframe.
