The AA 321s are mostly legacy US aircraft with lower thrust engines without the sharklets, thus the weight restriction. Ours do not have those issues.
Keep in mind also that the 321 NEO’s brake system is not that of the 321 CEO. It is an entirely new revamped system and works quite well, this has always been a lackluster system on the CEO. I have landed several times in DCA with the 321 NEO and have never even seen the temps in the orange, this is without brake fans even being on. Its an awesome machine, the NEO will climb right up to 350 with 185 passengers on a transcon and the burn between 2700-2800 Lbs/h per side at cruise. It is so quite that you could go without a headset the entire flight from takeoff to touchdown. We operate the LEAP 1 engine and have been told that it can take up to 5 minuets to start the engine. I have never experienced this, however it does do a lot more motoring though, start times range from 1-3 minuets or so I would say. I wish the “new Alaskan Airways” would get their heads out somewhere and place an order like you guys did. What type engines are you getting with your order?
