This may be legit. After party? Hmmm. Press claiming it's a Europe announcement. Hmmm.
If it is a Europe announcement it will most likely be a "free beer tomorrow" deal (ie years away), as we don't have any planes on property to fly it and still lack ETOPs.
Heck, SWA just got approval from the FAA to fly to Hawaii LAST WEEK! How long ago was that announced?How long do you think it would be before this basket case of a company would get approval to fly over the North Atlantic?
