The 321 is a dog, they won't be in Phoenix, they don't have the range to do transcons in hot weather. The EMB is a good plane, provided you let a seperate commuter fly them, they really need to simplify with the minimum of plane types.

As for the 67, you are right, you are wedded to them for a while, but I'd rather see the 330 replace all the 67 flying, some of your 67's are pretty long in the tooth if I remember correctly, as are all of our 757's.

I fly all models of the A320 family. The A321 is no less of a performer than a 737-300 at low altitude. It does do transcon - we have daily transcon flights in the A321 - with better reserves than a B737-400. It is not the rocket the A319 is, but few aircraft outside the B757 are. The only people who think that an A321 is a dog have not flown it - or the A330 - the A330 is a dog, and it is transatlantic.

Our 767s are getting old, but the 757s are worse because a good percentage are old Eastern ones.
