where are all the 753's?
Hello
recently I was looking on co.com for 753 routes this summer. Weird enough I could not find any 753 route betweel Florida and EWR or IAH. Are there no 753's anymore on these routes?

CO like to put all 738s on many routes in the schedule until closer to actual flight dates. They will then adjust them to 739s and 753s.

Though it wouldn't surprise me if they don't use many/any 753s to Florida during the summer -- they don't need that capacity as it's off season.

I've seen 753's on LAS-EWR but not all the time. Flew on Sunday from LAS-EWR and was on a 738. Surprised there wasn't a 753 considering it was a full flight and there were 30 standbys.

I love the 753 (from an airline POV, not PAX).
The economics of these birds can't be touched. Always wished CO would add couple rows of F, put IFE throughout and deploy them on EWR-LAX/SFO with full loads and no restrictions.
Use their 739s on EWR/CLE - LAS / Florida.
