I predict the 737 will be the downfall of Boeing and southwest, at least until southwest learns fifi.

The only difference is the 220 is actually a good plane unlike the max
I pray to god this rumor is false. The 321 neo is very capable and will work great with crew commonality

Also what could happen if delta wants the max 10 they could give some or all of our 100 options to spirit and then we would have a split of both. I find it hard to believe that delta would just give away 100 airplanes over the next 4 years when the max 10 wont even be ready until 2022 I think and that’s all based on the max 8 flying again soon.

Here is an 8 page discussion between pilots from Cathay and Qantas validating A359, A35K performance and comparing it to 788, 789 and 777 as well. They use real flight data from several airlines (including published data from Delta) and Fcom .. No underperforming issues.
