Have heard rumblings of AMR perhaps having discussions with Airbus recently. The thought process was to acquire A321 to replace some of the 75's.

That airplane could not even hold the 757's jock strap!!

Oh exactly right on target...yet another tactic employed by the airline lackeys of Ford & Harrison. As if United had all sorts of money to throw at jets (same for USAir). What a joke.

The A321 is a dog compared to the 757.

Must be Delta - just being quiet about it all! The next few weeks should get interesting!

It's JetBlue. We're gonna park 41 Brazilian bombers in BNA and tell Embraer "here, come and get 'em"! Ok, I can dream..

Mikells said 2 days ago that Airbus had an option now that would make them 20% more fuel efficient to compete with the C series....Don't count United out of this order..it very well may happen, and would make sense.
