Yep, 321lr first, and that's still several years away from a real airplane and a real fleet here at JB. Then it will be several more years of making sure we actually have a market for longer haul. If the long haul stuff failed for whatever reason the interiors can be easily redone and flown domestic. Win, win without the huge risk of a couple billion dollar widebody order.
If the LR delivers the numbers Airbus is claiming it will be a great airplane for us to test some longer deeper south stuff than we do now.
