Alas, it doesn't matter anymore as the NEO has taken over the WAT flying
Yet somehow tech ops manged to do it for our ill fated 73-9 adventures to Hawaii. Also they managed to do it on the 75s with SATCOM on the routes they used to fly as well. It's not hard, it's just being lazy.

Clearly they make it work when they have to, i.e. the A319s to BDA.
I just think TechOps just doesn’t want to take ownership of a challenge when they don’t directly see the value firsthand. It’s the “Delta Difference” stay in your department’s silo and don’t do anything that inconveniences your division even if it supports the company at large.
Love our tech ops folks, best in the biz, but yeah it's pretty much laziness at the managerial level there.

Correcto.

Somewhat, yes. Mostly lazy managerial level stuff inside tech ops.
