SEATTLE, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing and Continental Airlines today celebrated the delivery of the airline's first Next-Generation 737-900ER (Extended Range) airplane. With this delivery, Continental becomes the first airline in the Americas to operate the 737-900ER, a higher-capacity, longer-range derivative and newest member of the Next-Generation 737 airplane family.

Congrats to Boeing and Continental, I believe WN and CO both operate the most amount/diverse of 737's at once, with UA, AA and DL following behind?

Also it doesn't say in the article but any idea where CO plans to send these ER birds?

Our 737 fleet isn't diverse at all. They're all 737-832s for now. In the near future we'll have -732s as well.

Are the 733's retired then?

I was thinking 733, 737, 738.

Guess not, theoretically CO operates the most diverse period, with the 733, 735, 737, 738 and 739 all at once, WN only the 733, 735, 737 afterwards....
