Boeing is arguing this out internally right now. MOM is Middle of the Market in case you had not heard. Single aisle is a smaller jet liner say 180 to 200 seats. Twin aisle is a substantially bigger plane, say 250 - 300 seats. Right now, 2015, the airlines like smaller planes, and more frequent schedules to capture as many passengers as possible. If they offer 3 or 4 departures a day of a smaller airliner, they are more more likely to all the passengers to be had on that city-pair. If they only offer one departure a day of a bigger airliner, the passengers that want to depart earlier or later, are more likely to book with a competing carrier.
On the other hand, should over loaded airports like La Guardia impose departure limits (you airline so-and-so only get so many departures from here) then the airlines are likely to fall in love with bigger planes.
Boeing is doing bet-the-company forecasting right now.
