Air France just ordered 60 (up to 120) of the -300s to replace their 318s and 319s.

This is looking like a pretty successful jet and a good gamble on Delta's part.

But is it cannibalizing 319 and 320 sales?

Nobody wants the 319NEO, only 4 customers. Only 35 A319 on order compared to 3,900+ A320 & 2,600+ A321. Of those 35, 20 are for Avianca (high altitude Andes airports), 11 are for an undisclosed customer, 3 as a government private jet, and 2 for Air Cotê d'Iviore. Could easily have some or of all that backlog disappear. 320/321 delivery is backlogged for at least 5 years.

Looks like more evidence to support the rumors of a SEA base come fall. Of course their plan changes so much it’ll probably a BHM bass

Atl-sea is not even stretching that planes legs yet I’m pretty sure it could do Atlanta to anchorage

When they were doing coldsoak tests they went up and held at green dot for 8 hrs...

We are averaging 3500 lbs/hr at .79m. and it holds 38,000lbs of fuel. That is like 10hrs with a 3000 lbs reserve.

SEA-ATL though? That seems very unlikley unless its a botique positioning flight, which would mean there's no flow route that justifies getting it there and back. This whole "long and thin" fantasy is just silly.
