Super Range? And why would they have a short range? Stretched sounds more like it. But why not just go with the A321 then?

I was thinking that since there is/was B747SR (used in Japan) where SR stands for "Short Range" that there might be an SR version for A320.

That's the biggest secret here. It's a supersonic A320 with range of 800 miles

The "SR" designator is used on A320's that are overwater equipped, with life vests at each passenger and crew seat, infant life vests, survival kits, and a transmitter.

The US Shuttle A320s are so equipped and are designated "EOW" (Extended Over Water). I have never seen the "SR" designation on Airbii otherwise.

The "SR" designation was on the safety brochure in the seat pocket (the one they ask us to take out and read at the beginning of the flight).

Sorry: I forgot to add in my above post that the SR refers to the "S"lide/"R"afts with which the overwater A320's are equipped.
