Say what now? It sounds like you want the FAA to revoke the A320 type certificate?

Yes. The A320neo should be the last new design allowed under the same certification. They'll be forced to re-certify whatever they do next anyway, so they won't have to try to shoehorn things into the older design like Boeing did with the 737.

But Airbus shoehorned the same thing - a CFM LEAP - into an older design, just like Boeing did.

It's not the case that they won't have to try, they already did it years ago.
