its only a 24 seat difference between the 744 and the 773, I'd say that's a fair comparison, and it would be a smaller difference if we took out Premium Plus. And with 22 of these in the fleet, that's almost a 1 for 1 replacement from 2014. Then you add for fleet increase the 78X that's 13 more planes that seat 314 people. I'd say 13 is a pretty good increase (plus the 789, granted only 250pax)
