But hey we arent like most world airlines with one hub.

From reading the interweb if you need that big performance the 350 is evidently the best thing going.

Wow, I had no idea the orders for the 330 NEO were so low. So we have like 15 percent ish of the entire order book? Any top men have whispers about what we see in the NEO that the rest of the world seems to be missing?

I once heard it had the casm of a 773 in a 280 seat package. I could see the lust for that while other carriers just need the 773 seating.

I just ZED on Korean A330 couple weeks ago. No cabin gaspers either. I thoughr it was because their 330 appeared to be older but maybe Asian carriers don't like that option.

What were we even thinking?

Delta acquired some 737s many years ago that had no gaspers as well. I believe they were a -300 variant.

Speaking of delete options, NWA got Bombardier to delete option a flap setting for the CRJ 200.

Was wondering the same thing. Heard them on freq saying it was nothing big but they needed to return. They were on the ground for an hour and a half before they got back on their way.
