The south guys are out (unless there are insufficient bidders) but since this is a new category it would open the plane up to any North guys that can hold it.
That was talked about due to all of the cities in NYC that will be on it. Glad they are actually going to do it. It will keep the ER junior, but kill a lot of DH time for the 744 guys.
Along this line of thinking, I would "suspect" that other moves may be made as well. Them committing to the 744 NYC base means that marketing actually gave them a long term commitment to the 744 doing the flying there.
