We all know they can barely decide and keep routes 6 months from now. What they plan to fly in 4.5-5 years is anyone’s guess, but I’d take a good guess and say we will be flying somewhere far over water with them.
The same BB that was in ground school denying Orlando was going to be a base... the day before it became a base.
