Yeah idk why, maybe he didn’t have his coffee yet this morning. I wouldn’t get too worked up over it — he’s lashed out at me a few times and we work at the same shop haha!

I will say the hype/marketing campaign via social media influencers prior to this announcement is bizarre considering all these new destinations will be flown with mostly NB’s and a few of your older birds that aren’t really WB’s. This year both AA and DL have announced new international routes (mostly to Europe) that will be flown by actual WB’s (AA 777/787, DL 330/350) for 2025 and beyond. It was treated as business as usual.

Obviously this is an attempt to build an untapped potential market. You have all these 787’s on order. I doubt the growth plan is to only retire older WB’s and upgauge existing international routes. You’re going to have to find new routes that can fill seats on the brand new 78’s showing up on property in bulk.

Also, pilots are cheap, Greenland will eventually go junior after y’all find out a single Banana is like $20 US currency. The Northern lights will be epic to see though.
