A mistake in my book. The A2200-100 will blow out the A 319 and the B737-7
According to airfleets.net United has 66 A319s, plus 13 used frames on order; and 43 737-700s, with 6 used frames on order. That totals 128 airplanes not much bigger than the new 100-130 seaters, so no real present need to add a new type and a new pilot pool.
Very clear observation Peter. Since United continues to speak of a pilot shortage, we should expect higher capacity single aisle planes to predominate.
