  Besides the fact that the airliner business runs in decades, not years, there are other problems with the airline business. Airlines usually build their fleets around specific plane lines. Some use the variants of the same model. It is easier to hire and train pilots and crew this way.

  Spirit Air and Jet blue use Airbus primarily. Not wanna be them.
