That's not how airlines choose planes. The things that count are cash going out and cash coming in.
Oh at last.
Having spent a few decades in aviation it has never ceased to amaze me that a large proportion of us look at the industry as 'something different'. Talk of sleek lines, bigger windows, 'a delight to fly' etc means next to nothing. If the aircraft is safe and costs less to run (or to be more precise, produces more profit per passenger) then it will be a winner.
The jury still appears to be deliberating about the safety issue.
