As for sitting idle take a look at SEA 320 for February. Half the dang base is on reserve and block hours are more than doubling from Feb to March because Hawaii is coming back.
As a serial reserve bidder, no complaints here at all
. But let’s not pretend the NEO can’t have issues in the winter, I’ve seen it first hand.
have you flown the 75? Curious what ours have for range vs our degraded NEO’s. I would’ve expected them to have somewhat similar range/endurance. It’s ETOPS180 correct?
