The great thing about reading comments from akerosid is that they always make a lot of sense!
The 30+ A320 series family make make sense from a common fleet point of view, but it was clear that someone in EI look at Ryanair and said we can do that. Obiviously not taking their cost base into account at all, but thats another story for another day!
Could someone have a go and tell me what the idea was around the EI fleet in the late 90s. Bae 146's, 734/5's, A320/A321. It was such a messy mixed fleet.
The best option EI should go for would be the 100 seat aircraft, and I think the best option there is the Embraer E190. Seems to be a winner for JetBlue!
