WHEW!!!! Dodged a bullet.
American Widebodies in new domestic routes. Thank goodness we really only market ourselves to PNW and a smattering of Cali flyers. I know that if I lived in Dallas, and wanted to fly to ANC, I’d DEFINITELY prefer to transition SEA or LAX to get there: You had me at “cheese tray”.

Back in the 80s and 90s, US airlines routinely flew domestic wide bodies on shorter routes, like 747/DC10/777 between Chicago and Miami or L1011/767 between ATL and BOS. Delta flew 767s DTW-ATL right up to 9/11, and 767/777 ATL to almost every city in Florida through the 2000s. I guess what's old is new again. "The Points Guy" may be too young to remember this.
