The stretch is probably because the A318/319 is going away as it doesn't sell. No idea if that's the case, but it makes sense.
I guess I dont get it. I googled it but I ignore CEO speak nowadays. I just dont see why they would ever build a 150 seater with currently no demand and have it compete with a popular 150 seater they build 60 or 70 a month of and probably makes them a fortune on each frame.
