Like the Maddogs - they were getting parked for over a decade. If it wasn't for the virus, they'd still be flying.
The 321 NEO are just now entering flight testing and are going to have an uphill (like Mt everest battle) for certification IF you opt for the center/aft tanks (which pretty much everyone wants since without the plane is basically useless).
They pulled the 757 to the points for a reason. SEA was always going to lose the ER flying as that was stated years ago once we got the 330 orders rolling.
321 NEO is ether right now and the 75/76 are going to be around for many many years.
How many 321s are doing SNA - ATL non-stop?
BTW I'm not on the 75/76. I've flown pretty much all the NB here. To include the bus. I am not a fan of its performance - which is what really matters to me as a pilot. They are unreliable but we got a GREAT deal from France.
We are also on the books for 100 MAX 10s. We have the option to take any variant though should certification become an issue.
Life is not all bus here at DAL. I would venture to say there might be a big boeing on the prowl here as well. We'll see. Depends on RR I guess.
DTW is not a great base. Only great base if you live there, like anywhere else.
Geez, you new guys. Were you at Skypest by any chance?
Ummmm...that's really strange, because we have 321-NEO's currently in flight right now all over the country. You're thinking of the 321-XLR...
