True that, I'm just not sure how the 350 fits in anymore as a 747 replacement now that we are taking the -300s. Considering that international flying is flat or even slightly down, I'm even more dubious about adding 350s in addition to the 14 or possibly more -300s.
Interesting Motley Fool article today about the 737-700 cancellation, implied that the deal wasn't quite so smoking hot as we'd been led to believe. Perhaps UAL didn't want to commit to the C-Series last winter due to doubts about Bombardier's future. With Levy's background though, I imagine we will be back in the market for used 319s.
Flytolive - I figured we might go for 321s, your post strongly reinforces that thought. Wildcard is Boeing coming out with a Middle of the Market aircraft quickly enough to get our attention, I doubt it though.
