So if flying the wide body is important to you, ya might want to look elsewhere. They are getting the 320/321NEO planes as they become available for longer international flights though.
The question I had posed to the VP of Flight Ops was, if Airbus can deliver on their promises regarding the capabilities of the LR, would they(B6) be interested. I was told that was the best billion dollar question of the day fwiw. If B6 does M&A with HA, you'll see WBs IMO, outside of that it'll be LRs. My two cents.
