Time to un-hitch ourselves from this dead horse. All the advantages of a single fleet type evaporate when you can't get deliveries.
Alternate plan: We cancel the -7 deliveries, get all -8's, and have a long-haul fleet-within-a-fleet with some premium seats, an expanded galley, and some real food for sale? That would mostly solve the weight/range issues since we'd be carrying fewer passengers on it (and thus take more fuel), and let us compete for some higher-fare customers that would never fly anything less than business class.

Prob called there's nobody steering the ship at the FAA and the Fed's don't want to give Boeing any leeway after the crashes. Makes no sense to me since Dickson literally flew a -7 to certify the -8. I can see the -10 being delayed with the goofy landing gear, but there's no difference between the 7 and 8 except it's a little shorter. Prob just a ****ing match between Boeing and the gov't....

This is not “how we’ve always done it”. You obviously don’t work here. Take your good ideas to your own un-exceptional airline.

Rumor has it that the “Big Front Seat” on Spirit is really there for weight and balance purposes, but they leverage that to upsell a more comfortable product. I’d like to see us do that. We miss out on a lot of revenue opportunities by not having assigned seats.
