3)Because of the winglet deal falling through, the company is concerend about transcon winter flying. There is talk that several of our options for 320s may be converted into 319s. 319s can easly do the transcon flights in the winter, not to mention fill a nice void in our seats.
Airbus is supposedly annoyed that B6 bounght the E190s instead of Airbus planes to fill that need.

Regarding the 319/320s, I was under the impression that the 319 has fewer seats but better range. How would that help in the "void" that you are apparently suffering?
