Any idea how the new 73s and the 73MAX compare to the 757 performance wise? I know the 321 is not even in the same league and unless they put a new wing on it I don't see the neo being able to replace it on a lot of what you guys use a 757 for.

I think the 319s AA ordered are to replace the high performance airports that AA flies to out of MIA and DFW.

All I can say is Hawaiian ordered a bunch of 321neo's and are planning on doing west coast with 'em. Claim it works even out of Lihue (6500' runway). It might be a more viable 757 replacement than you think, although I'm not sure if trans-atlantic is really on the radar. Airbus seems to think it is.

LIH is a sea level, and we do run the current A321 on similar legs, but I cannot imagine it at some of the high altitude airports.

There was an article recently talking about the need for all present orders on both sides to be kept. Replacement for the super 80s and the older 757s and 767s. The east 737 fleet will go away by next year. There are some older A320s that need to go as well. AWA had the original pan am 320s. They are worn out.
The a350 900 should be certificated next year with deliveries starting late in 2014. Most LCC orders were for the 800 version but Doug said the 900 would work for the combined carrier. So A350 orders should be safe.
