I’ve heard A330s and A321s being the MD-11 and 757 replacement lately.
Of course, the 737-800/900 is always thrown out there and you would assume the company has the data they need on whether they want more 737s based on their experiences with ASL and West Atlantic flying the -400s/-800s for us in Europe.
I would think if they can get Boeing to commit to the 767X, the company would prefer that. The wingspan would be similar to the MD-11. Further, from I have heard, the company wanted the 767-400 initially, but got a sweetheart deal for the -300s.
That being said, FedEx and UPS seem to like the idea of a A330-900 and from what I gather, it is a slow seller. Maybe Airbus would like to make a deal. We all know Fred loves a deal. But, I would think with the constant issue of gate space at the outstations and Hubs, the wingspan of the A330 might be an issue.
