Surprising to see the CASK (cost available seat kilometre) was 9.05c for the 737 whereas for the E-Jet it was "above" twenty cents. I would have thought the E-jet a cheaper aircraft to run..........the report did go on to say it expected the E-jets to drop by half within the next year, this however still makes it a more expensive aircraft to operate per seat Km.

Is the 737 strong enough to carry two expensive stablemates i.e the introduction of the E-jet and the introduction of 777 into North America?

I hope for the folk at VB the answer is yes.
