He seemed most exited about Hawaii (kicked Alaska out of Oakland and Sacramento to Hawaii), growth to other airports in the same market (Intercontinental and O’Hare (couldn’t have gotten into O’Hare without covid)) and how they got in to Long Beach via old sound regulations and got Jet Blue out of there. Also answered questions on the A220 (was cheaper per flight but more expensive to run a two type fleet and got a smoking deal from Boeing).
It was a smoking deal because it was a risky move. Risk vs. Reward. Hopefully, no 737 groundings for the next 30 years.
