I’d imagine Airbus isn’t as flexible trading down vs trading up, in terms of current orders. I think we will find in the longer run the subsidiaries like National Jet Systems who operate the A220 will take over a large chunk of the domestic work while the A321 picks up more work internationally which would offset the loss in A321 or ‘old 737 work’, to the A220. The A321 will still operate the majority of the work across domestic, but not as much as today.
A320Neo would probably only be a gain of 10-15 seats over a A220. Plus these subsidiaries have much lower wages which seems to be the most important thing.
Seems to be like the A321 will operate a whole bunch of the peak work while 220 the off peak and thinner/remote/regional work.
Be interesting to see where Alliance fits into the picture over the longer run. Taking on 20 year old E190s isn’t really a long term game, what happens in a decade when they need to phase them out?
