That would be great, but seems very doubtful...
Open Skies lets us fly between countries, but we couldn't do the intra England flying (think Cabotage)
We also would be backfilling early-out A320 captains, instead of displacing surplus A320 FOs if that were the plan...
More likely the jets will come from a more closely related operator.
