It’s not a function of the wing, it’s a byproduct of the pax O2 supply and how fast you can get down to breathable air. The Bus just doesn’t come down fast enough.

This may be the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen. You’re trying to tell me that a descent rate down to 10k from 40k is a limiting factor? What do those things last, 15 minutes? Not a memory item so I really don’t care. Regardless, you put that thing down at 320Kias in an idle descent and boards out it’ll be a, at most, 20 second difference between 41k and 39k.

Actually, I beleive its due to the pressurization capability of the A-320. According to US 14 CFR 25.841: "Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, pressurized cabins and compartments to be occupied must be equipped to provide a cabin pressure altitude of not more than 8,000 feet under normal operating conditions." At 39000 feet, the cabin is at 8000 feet with the differential near the max allowable.

Do we know who "owns" an order, and are they all the same? Some posit that a customer can sell the order, which implies they own it, like an option on real estate. It could also be that it's like a deposit, and you can pass and forfeit but have no possessory interest. Or it could be both and/or something else too (like contingent orders that are a n agreement to agree in the future, pad the order book but not enforceable against the buyer), depending on what the buyer negotiates. Tough to make certain pronouncements without knowing these facts.

except the cockpit is glorious in comparison lol.
For every person here bashing the dated 320 and 330 NEO underpinnings there are 2 people ready to name their firstborn Boeing if that company resurrects the 757 in all its original splendor.
Mind you I'd fly it. Would be glorious like a 63 Vette.

757 I would liken to one of the mid-60s big-block muscle cars, overpowered for the suspension and tires (not true in aviation context as it brakes great) but glorious!
The Vette would only let us bring one friend, a 753 lets us bring I dig what you're saying.

767 reminds me of a 50s Coupe deVille, glorious ride, one finger steering, powerful and plush.

Airbus would do it because the media of them slam dunking in Boeings face would be worth it. They’ve been trying to crack into UAL with a sizable order for some time, the 321 orders were just due to a lack of other options and it’s the closest 757 replacement there is. However if they can shove another huge order in Boeings face because of their own dereliction and highlight just what a failure the Max program is that would be worth far more than the cost of buying back or rearranging delivery slots.
