The introduction of the NEO should improve things for the 320 while likely having very negative consequences for the 7ER. Furthermore, if Delta introduces the MAX to the fleet the 7ER fleet's longer stage length flights will virtually be limited to 767 international and specific routes that require 757 performance (St. Thomas, Quito, Tegucigalpa etc)

Brave New World. Ironically after yelling at the top of their lungs for years about being RJ flying inhouse Mainline pilots are finally getting their wish but now are in an uproar about the schedules.

There is a new airport in Tegucigalpa that should not require specific performance if we re enter that market. No more TGU.

does STT require special performance? B6 flies a321s there from JFK.

it would not surprise me if in 2-3 years most the 752s are parked and we are left with.
752 charter planes
752 TATL planes
753
763
