That 321XLR will be low and slow. Ugh. Imagine trying to work your way across the tracks at mach .78 and 28,000', dodging every cloud in the way. That would be awful. I'll stick with 39,000 and mach .84 or better the whole way across.

So less radiation and more money, where do I sign up?

It will be five years before I can hold wb CA so might as well do something other than 3-4 legs a day in the RJ

223,000 lbs max weight for the XLR. Same engines. The NEO does better than the CEO but 17000 more pounds will be noticeable.

I fully intend to bid PHL XLR when it starts Europe if it isn't a separate bid status.

Which makes APA's lack of focus on NB QOL in the last contract even more criminal. The company has erroded NB QOL over the past 10 years to the point where we have long time WB FOs coming to NB CA, seeing how bad it has gotten and bidding right back to WB FO.

I do wonder how senior the trips will go. Guessing it will be similar to wb CA tbh.

Coming out of Guyana on 737NG, jetblue right in front of us in a 321NEO, both of us going to JFK. We were at FL340 they were at FL300. We eventually climbed to 380 about halfway through.

We were maxed out I assume they were too, although they probably had 20 more pax as well.

That Boeing wing sure is nice.

was the ride bad? Maybe they were happy down there. I never understood the obsession with climbing into the high 30’s just because. Sure its nice to have more options. I bet that NEO could have climbed a bit higher if they wanted

there’s definitely a meme about boomers yelling we need profit sharing, but also not knowing how to use FMS+
