Carrying 175 pax from IAH/EWR to the Caribbean, sure a 900er works fine. Oh unless it's STT or SXM, then you need a 757 or 737-700 because the other two don't have the performance for terrain. But those are small low volume markets, right?
I'm not blaming the company for buying them, I'm making fun of Boeing for building them. "If it ain't Boeing I ain't going." Yeah, so long as the Boeing product has the performance.... And can someone tell me what is "Next Gen" about the NG???
