It's early days of a program that just gained huge credibility. Yes, they took a bath to get this deal done. Something new management clearly understood. Future deals will likely involve a bath too, but that's the price of admission to a former duopoly. A & B have now put themselves in a bad position. They've cut prices on their product that are below the 10 year average rate of inflation and sold so many single aisle aircraft that delivery dates become a problem for new buyers who will have to wait a ridiculous amount of time to get an aircraft. This will likely prove to be a boo boo on the part of A And B because they are now well behind in technology on top of that.
We'll see how deeply BBD penetrates the new triad.
British Airways and Iberia are believed to be interested.

I agree with your comment regarding the 300.
