I wasn't serious about applying the term "super-premium" to this merger, but I was referring to the fact that some LUV pilots feel the 717 should be a category by itself... but the -800 is kind of interesting in a sense. Here is what LUV had to say about it when announcing the change in orders from -700's to -800's:
"...Kelly said the current plan is to take the 20 aircraft in 180-minute ETOPs configuration. The aircraft "would bring us to more distant markets like Hawaii, Cancun, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda," he said..."
So... who gets credit for the -800?
