I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this airline called Virgin America? They started years after JB, flew A320s, and flew to Hawaii. We have CHOSEN not to start our ETOPS program in time to start Hawaii service. But we do codeshare with Hawaiian to HNL. And likely an Alaska codeshare on our future. And Moxy. And more JetSuiteX.
Wow Air flies BOS-KEF with current generation A321s, same as ours. We COULD have an ETOPS program, instead we codeshare to KEF.
Next year, add many European destinations to the list of places we could reach with new Airbus narrowbody delivies and an ETOPS cert. But we will codeshare.
We dont have ETOPS now. Maybe we will, maybe we wont.
Point is, when B6 can pull in the full fare, they will.
There's no gain in codesharing a flight that they can operate.
So you believe we will go to Europe? Optimism BD?
