Any Airbus fleet will hold up just fine.
And now, contrary to your theory, Boeing gets to learn the value of innovation vs. lobbying.

PNWFlyer,
It’s time to recognize that the Sun doesn’t shine out of Boeing. There are other builders that can innovate, build and support airliners. The 737 is an antique, but Boeing management lacks any desire to modernize after the 787 disaster.

Well this is certainly welcome news... 
Since the initial CS bid was supposed to have been in December, I would think that we will see an AE sooner than later, which means basing decision imminent. With DL being the biggest customer, I would also think deliveries are imminent as well... so the training timeline would be what...early spring for the first crews? The original EIS was to have been May, so we are looking probably at June or July at this point I guess...
Also, in honor of post #1664... Cheers!

So for those who have studied the numbers. With the all our aircraft orders and now the C's coming (assuming we get all 150) and with the 88's and 75/76 eventually headed out the door ( and I think some old 320's?) whats the net aircraft count when were all said and done? Are we going to grow or be about the same as we are today?

I would think the first routes we fly with this plane will be in 4th quarter or first quarter 2019.
I had heard that Our first two airplanes were in production but can’t confirm that’s true and would be surprised if they were. It’s going to take a while to re spool this up I believe and I think we should be patient.
I see us having up to 200 of these things eventually
