I wasn't aware we started aerial tours of the lovely west Texas landscape

I believe the 5 original NEO’s went down for a bleed system mod once the new NEO’s arrived on property. Probably doing systematic test flights.

Time for a big order of CS300/A220s....

Seeing as the A220 isn't having the same issues with the 3rd stage bearing or the fume events of its big brother I could see that as a real possibility. AB might be cutting a sweet deal to keep us in the family.

Oh, and f!@# Boeing and their antique POS.

Has somebody from Spirit training department told you we are getting the 737’s and forcing you to fly it?

Or did you wash out of Boeing test pilot school and you are disgruntled? Calm down buddy.

Neither. But Boeing is making a sales pitch for their narrow body and their 'code share' partners airframe as well. The 73 is a 60 year old POS that was a great bird for the 1960's but one that is dated, small, fuel inefficient (as far as competitors go), uncomfortable for the crew and passengers, and would be a step backwards in most every way conceivable. As Spirit management looks towards the future I hope they'd look their as well instead of the museums for airframes. Seeing as NK will most likely forever be a narrow body operator we don't have the ability of bidding out of whatever NB we operate. If we're forced to remain NB pilots for our careers I'd rather do so in a modern, comfortable airframe.

No doubt Boeing/Embraer are preparing a low-price bundled proposal. The deal would have to be truly awesome in order to justify a disruptive/phased fleet swap... Better option would be an A220 and A321 combo but only time will tell.... Will be interesting to watch.

You’re assuming spirit cares about our comfort. I can guarantee the type of cockpit is not on their priority list anywhere.
