I can't see any benefit to us if the company orders CSeries vs. 737/A320/A319's.
Yeah, can't say I'd argue with the CO's logic in buying the 700s quickly at a super bargain price. I think doing so kinda forced DAL's hand as they need new jets sooner than we do, and I don't think there were any more NG slots available. Plus I think the wait time for MAX's, NEO's, (massive backlog) and even E-2s (flight test/cert) was such that they couldn't wait that long. DAL mgmt may well be savvier than ours, but in this case I think we may have beat them to the punch.
