Let's see....American Airlines currently flies 219 Airbus A321s....48 A320s....and 125 A319s....

Yeah. Makes total sense to me.

Excellent products...both of them. This has nothing to do with the aircraft themselves..... it's all about pricing.....which manufacturer will drop its price the most to get the order.

Agree, as long as Boeing is price-competitive, - hard to determine that, since airframe manufacturers discount so heavily, and then there are the options clauses for additional tail numbers.

American drops A330neo ... right
According to Bloomberg, the story is a little different
"Airbus unwilling to match the prices being offered by Boeing for its B787-9 product"

Also, you know that (some) Airbus(es) are manufactured in the US (Alabama)?
