Deferred A320 Neo Orders
American Airlines pushes back delivery of Airbus A320neo jets - Yahoo Finance
Any thoughts...this to me seems like a bad thing from a pilot perspective but I can see what DP is doing amongst capacity angst by shareholders. Anyone care to chime in with any thoughts...
Still trying to wrap my mind around how this place is run and if we are going to do well as the "New American"

I'd be a lot happier taking a 321 NEO on the NATRAC than going to Hawaii. You can do 120 or even 60 min ETOPS on the NATRAC. It's purely 180 ETOPS in the CEPAC. And wait until they try LIH with a wet runway. I just did my first flight in there in 6 years. I liked having the performance of the 757. Not a lot of runway for the airbus if the runway isn't dry or there are performance adjustments to be made.
