Massive Weight saving.
Since its an Aircraft common in Domestic aviation,hence thought it was significant.

Is this a new type of carbon brake, or did they use steel brakes earlier?
I would have thought Boeing has been using carbon brakes for a while? _________________ eP007 |

Since you mentioned an airline, are they optional? I thought they were standard equipment. |

Actually even I thought they came standard.
I just mentioned the airline because I'm not sure about the old 320s, whether they had carbon brakes in the 90's? I have no idea. _________________ eP007 |
