Neither. But Boeing is making a sales pitch for their narrow body and their 'code share' partners airframe as well. The 73 is a 60 year old POS that was a great bird for the 1960's but one that is dated, small, fuel inefficient (as far as competitors go), uncomfortable for the crew and passengers, and would be a step backwards in most every way conceivable. As Spirit management looks towards the future I hope they'd look their as well instead of the museums for airframes. Seeing as NK will most likely forever be a narrow body operator we don't have the ability of bidding out of whatever NB we operate. If we're forced to remain NB pilots for our careers I'd rather do so in a modern, comfortable airframe.
