the NEOs will fly the 757 BOS/EWR transcons. The XLR will go to Europe and they will only have to ETOPS one fleet and one base of pilots. The Hawaii flying will be easily absorbed by additional MAXs.

I hope I’m wrong but that’s how I see it going down.
You might be right. They are sending all the initial and transition pilots through ORCA “training” currently. I put it in parentheses because I hear it’s a pretty weak training block.
