Message-ID: Approved: kls@ohare.Chicago.COM Sender: kls@ohare.Chicago.COM Organization: None Reply-To: marcmsc@geocities.com I wonder which a/c NW will replace with the A319. As we know NW has invested a lot of money to upgrade the flight systems and quiet the engines of 173 DC-9 jets it is operating. -Why would they upgrade the DC-9's and replace them 2 years later with A319 ? -Could noise restrictions be the reason ? -I doubt that NW will replace the B727 (149 seats) with the A319 (125 seats), the A320 would be the better choice. __ Marc Schaeffer, Luxembourg // mailto:marcmsc@geocities.com ---->>>>> Check out my a/c orders and backlog page <<<<<---- WWW http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/8803/main.htm
