Indeed they are, even without the butt bounce at EWR, but unfortunately I think bringing on "new" equipment with different engines creates more issues then solving them. Once all of these contract issues are in the past I think CO would jump at a chance for a good deal on 777s similar to the 738s and 753s from ATA, but the need to have the GE engines.
