Question is can it be had at a marginally adjusted 73 price point That would be Boeing dumping cheap airframes on the market. Not fair😜 |

But I'm not an accountant or airline executive, and it really all comes down to what makes sense for them, unfortunately for us pilots! |

The cost is partially offset by the revenue premium that comes from more aisle seats. I won't pretend I know the numbers, but somewhere within marketing and network planning is a B school intern who needs a project. Feed them a little data on operating costs vs revenue premium for aisle seats and they could make some nice charts and graphs.

That's a very good point. They are definitely cashing in on that right now. Also, more nebulous, is the standard of service. You can get a couple of carts down the twin aisle and serve the pax better. Lavs are more accessible. And I've always thought it was a goat rope to board the coach cabin after the 1st class, what with folks knocking over the champagne with their diaper bags and shouting "Look Ma, they got blankets!" The mid cabin boarding door is oh-so much more civilized.

That is the expected actual selling price. UAL's price on the last 737 order was rumored to be below 25 million each. The A330-900's are rumored to have cost Delta just over 100 million each.

No freakin’ way Delta would ever pay $100M for an airplane. Not in our DNA.
