I'm assuming that's the point of the LR/XLR going to Europe? Make sure the product works, get the marketing "right" on the other side of the pond (since over there LCC brings up images of Ryanair), and then bring that product to WBs once it's been established?
I can't imagine they would go through with buying NK just to continue to limit the company to NE-Florida, only thing that makes sense is using that to get B6 to the middle of the country, IMHO.
