I should caveat that I heard 8x daily A321NEOS and 4x Widebody flights daily, JFK-LAX. Obviously all just rumor until its out there doing it. Personally, I'm only interested in them if they are the short layover hotel so I can avoid LAX traffic and walk to In-N-Out.

I can believe it. 321neo will have a nicer D1 product than the 763 for the most premium domestic route. Doesn’t surprise me seeing 339/764 on some freqs still.

I don’t necessarily agree it’s a better product than the retrofit newer D1 on an ER though. 321neos You’re climbing over the person next to you if you have a window lieflat, just like the 757 lie flats. On top of the service amenities a 76 has over a 321. Guess everyone is different. The newer retro ERs aren’t that bad. Just not pod with a little door/window like 330/350 has.

lYour comment is also just not correct. We work at Delta where networking will swap fleets like candy. Then people get upset when they see a neo doing short stage length flights because you think a 321neo is classified for 1 specific thing and that’s all the long haul transcon and Hawaii flying you specifically want it to do.
I'm just stating the facts: when something like the 321NEO or 737MAX burns 10,000 pounds less on a transcon, the 757 will eventually never see those routes again except for the handful that require it's performance such as SNA-ATL/DTW (although a 220 or 319 could do this, too).
When there are eventually 155 321NEOs and [unfortunately] 100 737MAXs out there, combined with 127 321CEOs and 100+ 739s, the NEO/MAX stuff is very rarely going to do something like DTW-GRR or ATL-SAV. That's what the older stuff is for with the same seating capacity.

8 and 4 seems understandable. We will see how it shakes out but obviously those lie flats will be on longer haul.
