What does a 763 hold? 210? 1 339 for every 2-3 763 or 1 359 for every 3-4 and sprinkle in an additional AF, KLM etc and we aren’t a lot better off. Not seeing any orders that indicate we are going to be doing much more than we are today. Add in our older 333 will be going not far behind the 763s. Net gain will be minimal at best.
767-300 is 230 something and 330-900 Neo is 280 something. Article showing JFK to ACC is will add 30% capacity, over 1000 seats per week by the switch. I think the 330 and 350 is the obvious replacement to the 767.. a very slow replacement, not a 1 for 1 replacement.
