ATR (if i may call you that)

Can you perhaps compare the efficency of the new generation of a/c i.e. B738 / A319 to the other types ie. 737 classics, MD 80s etc that are being flown by other operators.

Obviously these older a/c cost sweet FA to acquire yet burn much more fuel. No problem when fuel is cheap but at around 60$ per barrel things are a lot different to 12 months ago. At what point will things become critical for the likes of Nationwide/Kulula etc that operate old kit?
