That's why they have leased the 321s. It's amazing how fast they are showing up.
I suspected but didn't research that Delta and United also use a few wide-bodies on those routes. Clearly that's an effective strategy.
As mentioned every single data point indicates that we either need a strategy shift or to simply admit that we like 3rd place. It's embarrassing.
