Total guess.
LR tail design = “Streamers”
NEO tail design = “Ribbon”
^^^^someone on a.net wrongly called it “waives,” not sure where that came from tho
Buddy of mine asked if the NEO would be ETOPS for that purpose. He was told no...LRs were the only ones the company is planning for ETOPS. But, I still think it would make sense since Johanna and/or Scott has said we will likely do mint to hawaii.
