Delta does 194 with the ACTs installed.

We’ll see. I suspect if the economy is gangbusters we’ll see the Neo getting used for shorter domestic high capacity routes and the 756 continuing to do 756 stuff, if **** hits the fan I could see them retiring them and making due with adding ACT’s and blocking a few seats if needed.

RE the XLR I’m guessing the delay is due to them getting the range back up with the fuel tank redesign. Initially reported they’d lose about 200nm with the rework but Airbus is claiming that’s not the case now.
