That’s a bit of a stretch. The max is here to stay. Those in charge of the money went with Boeing over Airbus. I have no idea what the future of the 320 fleet is as it ages, but if I had to, I’d bet that it would eventually be replaced by the max. They seem to want to cut down on the different fleet types to streamline the operation and save money. They both pay the same. Bid what gives you the best schedule, move on, and enjoy your days off.
