The POINT if you read the post that mine was responding to was about fuel economy. The pister had indicated the fuel economy of the NEO and I wholeheartedly agree that the NEO and MAX will improve fuel economy. But AS OF YET (ie., currently) those more highly efficient versions are a relatively small percentage of the CURRENT AA NB fleet.
And since our little conversation, AA has exercised options for an additional 23 MAXs with the intention of bringing that up to 30.
