Like the 737s that would be cancelled if we didn't accept this... Spoiler alert for the newbies, we still got 737s.

I mean, that wasn't even a good bluff. Like a board would ever allows such a thing to happen.

Just wondering if we’ll see something better in the future.

I get your point, but CEO's say lots of things trying to game things. I think he was speaking to what they actually do.

I was daydreaming about this thread while slogging through Atl traffic today 😝…..
I could maybe see new base/s in 10+ years.
if we simplify/tighten up fleet types…
Only fly 220, 320, 737, 330, 350.
if it’s less fleet types and wayyyy more 737s and 320s flying around, I could see it.
lord only knows what we will get to replace the 757 for the niche missions…mex, (and other short field/altitude airports) that need more than a 220 or old 319 can carry
