Agreed. The -321 might hold the people but cannot carry the cargo or fly from hot/high altitude airports like a 757. Even on takeoff the plane is miserly. It has so much performance that the engines normally are between 80-86% N1 even on heavy flights. They will stay there until level off that's somewhere between FL370-400. That translates into longer engine life and reduced mx costs. Boeing got it right in spades on the plane.Originally Posted by SomedayRJ
Oh, Pierre, but the fuel burn, she is less! We can fly it more for less money! (Just don't try to go to Vail. Or Burbank...)I'm not a fan. The -321 has a sad lack of get up and go.
