RE: EasyJet Retiring 737-700s!

Just another note...

the 73G is slightly quieter, but the 319/320s are more comfy because they are wider and the seats are spaced better.

RE: EasyJet Retiring 737-700s!

How old are these 37s? Is it just me or does it seem backwards to reture NGs for 319s ? Of course they are newer, but isnt the boeing technology newer?

How many cycles would be on these birds? Maybe we should buy them!!
