AA has 45 Neos, not 39. That’s what happens when you take delivery of 2 per month. Last one just showed up on 1/18.
it isn’t irrelevant. It’s reality. Yes, it is a snapshot in time. Everything is. I’m glad you are getting more NEOs but it doesn’t matter greatly if it is 39 or 45, that is a small percentage of AAs A320 fleet. And yeah, AA Is getting 2 a month. So is damn near everyone else. But RIGHT NOW that’s a 15% fuel savings at cruise by 12% of the A320 family fleet. That’s good. That’s environmentally friendly, but that’s still less than a 2% fuel savings on that one fleet.
