The parts are worth more than the sum if you sell the planes cheap enough but charge too much for parts.
... but especially if it's the unwanted A318 that shares commonality with airplanes that are wanted- A319 and A320.

I remember seeing that thing in GSO in like 2006 I believe. I see Honda every year at NBAA trying to get orders. I just don't ever see it being a big seller. Ugly airplane

It might not be so bad if they, and Boeing, put the engines lower or in the wing, it could look like that old British jet bomber with gtf engines:
If they do something funky, I'll fly it with a smile even if I know all the passengers are in misery in the back. After all, I've flown with APU Nazis in the summer.

They're going to be so mellow upon arrival.

Hey, maybe Leo from That 70's Show designed that tunnel!
