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.

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.
