Airbus did use single or double slotted flaps depending on the model. That’s what I was talking about.

So I understand where you're coming from. You're saying that a wing is the airfoil and adding lift devices and wingtips devices that change the performance of the wing having no bearing on whether or not a wing is "new"?

Wait till he finds out Airbus did make the 321 wing bigger over the 320 wing…

Well those last few pages were exhausting! But it sure will be nice when the maxes finally show up for those who will fly it and the growth it will provide for us. Slightly off topic; any new intel on whether the company still wants to hold out for a 220-500 or put in a 738 MAX or 320 NEO order?

DL cares above all else about CASM. The CASM for the longer variants of an aircraft are lower than shorter variants because the smaller variants carry around a lot of the same structural weight of the larger ones without the extra space.
if you are going to fly 150 people from BOS to AUS, Flying them in a max 10 would have a minimally higher cost than in a max 8. but the next day when 180 people want to go, the -10 can generate a much higher revenue.
if AB offers the 225 I could see us buying it, but if not I doubt we will see an order larger than a few dozen for smaller 320/737 family aircraft.
i could see an small order, less than 50, for the 738s for places where a -10 or 321 can’t get in/out.

LOL. They seem to do fine, also AV out of BOG, although a plane gets way heavier than brochure once you add F seats, and TV's, so then it "doesn't do what Airbus said" when in reality its how it is configured.
