Looking at the bid pack for October, the 75 is still doing transcons as is the ER. I've said it before, will say it again, the 75 is not going anywhere, anytime soon. Also, to add I don't fly the 75 anymore. Haven't for many years. I was on the fleet, however, for a very long time.
Also, yes, it does shorter legs too. Becasue from ATL-MCO it can get to 390+ no problemo, not cloud plowing thru the merk. Also, lots of cargo going back and forth as well. You really should get a meeting with Network and cargo folks. You might actually learn something. It's an interesting situation they find themselves in. No decent production variant of an Airbus (save for maybe the 350-1000) can haul what we want where we want it too. The boeings did fine always in that regard (777, 747, 757, 767ER).
Repeat after me: "Airbus always over promises and under delivers"
