If we furlough in May I don’t see it going past the 600-900 range. If it goes north of that the airline might not recover.
The aircraft deliveries are still coming just reduced the number slightly. What has me concerned is not getting LHR. How do run the Int’l op with three birds. Where do you keep the spare? Keep it state side or keep it in London. At least if you got 4 you could keep one in each country.
London flying starts next year and there is no bid out for it yet either. The training department isn’t that fast at getting guys on the schedule.

Maybe they get one mint NEO ETOPS and sub it with reduced loads if necessary to get the range, maybe stopping west bound for gas. Or get it non ETOPS and just fly it along a route not requiring ETOPs, possibly with an extra fuel stop both ways. Who knows.
Doubt there will be a long training event for the small cadre of people doing it as most will likely come from the bus already. And if they don’t start revenue flights til August, they probably won’t need to put the bid out for a while. They said Q1...should be plenty of time.
