I guess I missed the XLR commitment to EWR and IAD first... Especially as the Neo arrived in ORD so strong and the XLR can apparently do close-Europe from there...
But is the ETOPS training of west coast Airbus crews is for nothing? Or is this just being done fleet-wide? But again, separate issue. Only takes a Neo to go to Hawaii, not an XLR...
The 756 will have to be consolidated to fewer bases in coming years... just haven't heard any proposed progression. No 767 and limited 757 in those bases makes the west coast seem like the first target...
