I'm sure there are plenty of other customers who are happy they're not going to have to compete with you for upgrades.

Why? The range shouldn't be an issue and if it means the difference between ORD-MAN versus ORD-EWR-MAN or ORD-LHR-MAN I'm guessing there might be sufficient demand to fill a 752 in a two-cabin config that makes the economic sense where the three-cabin 763s didn't. It is these sorts of operational efficiencies that the merger success is predicated on. And I'm guessing they'll do just fine on routes like ORD-MAN. AA already operates it on a 752 so it isn't like there's a lot of competition on wide-body aircraft for the minority population that books based on such.
