Super looking forward to flying 223K# around on an A320 wing. Looking at green dot around 260kts below 10K' and recommended max alt around FL320? At MZFW + 5K# fuel still can't get above FL350 (that's at the end of the flight...). Big AB fan, honestly think this is as bad as the 10 MAX as far as stretching capabilities goes (no, not including MCAS). Should have made a A322. Air India A320 landing gear. More wing. Same cabin, Max Alt FL410. But that costs more money. Cheaper to just pour fuel into the fuselage to go further (https://airwaysmag.com/easa-faa-on-a...body-redesign/). Always short term profit over anything else.
