Which means JB is going to do it.
Yeah, better to have a plane sit 12 hours doing nothing and get a 90% on time vs the plane actually making money and having a 80% on time.
(What's a flagship long haul flight?? You must have this mistaken for the Concord and 1978).
Again look at how 757s get utilized. They don't sit for 12 hours. There aren't 757's sitting in Buenos Aires, Rio or Sao Paulo all day waiting for return flights. The 757's that UAL/AA/DAL use go to Europe from NY as well as head West to Denver/SFO during the day.
