But as Pilots we want shiny new all the time.
Actually, I just want a more comfortable cockpit...which is one of the main reasons I bid out of it on this last AE.
If they stretch that jet much more, we'll be flying 160-170 kts finals and have to rotate less than 1 degree/sec to avoid tail strikes. I recently flew a < 1 month old -900, that already had knobs that were loose and the FO comm panel had gone out (as evidenced by NOT have the new panel with an intercom)...cheap!
