Also, Frontier used to be all 737's and are now all Airbus, but again those 73's were classics. So it looks like Airbus is winning vs. the old 73's but vs. the new 73's might be harder to tell yet. Can't think of any airline that operates both the A-320 family AND the 737 NG. Anyone?
EasyJet had a fleet of 737's but switched to Airbus. They have taken delivery of a brand new Airbus every 12 days since 2003. The current order book for firm orders is huge. They still have over 30 737's but not for long.
