I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the beginning of the end for QF mainline 737s. In the manner that the 787 was claimed to be a growth aircraft and sooner realized it's a 747 replacement, the opposite goes for Network. The A320s are not just replacements for F100s, they will eventually have Network bases in other states over the years and watch Network take over domestic mainline 1 A320 at a time. A good indicator of future behavior is past behavior. I truly hope I'm wrong.
