You are correct Sir. We would never put 737's on some of the shorter Atlantic routes. Like BOS to Ireland. Or BOS to London. That would be crazy. It would be just like putting RJs on 1000+ legs in the states.
OH, wait a minute. Never-mind.
But, we have no problem on putting them on the longest over-water leg we have such as the West Coast to Hawaii.
Yeah. It will never happen!
