I agree about obsession with fleet simplification… IF a new NB type is ordered it will be for way down the road, like starting 7-10 years. Initially as a 319/320 replacement, after this coming refresh gets grungy. May touch 737 NGs too if a big enough version comes. I do not see any possibility of E195-E2. Supposedly Delta A220 operating expenses are fantastic.
