Sure seems like they did a lot of tweaking of which positions they filled in order to get the result they wanted this time.

Maybe advance bookings show a trend. Either up gauge to more 330 domestic or down gauge to more 320s and 737s. International could be way down this summer too with JV changes.

JFK-GRU went from 767-400 to ER last spring, then back to the -400 in January, ER in March, then to the 330 in September 2017. Three aircraft types, four changes. Up and down gauging happens constantly these days.

The 330 has not flown JFK to GRU.

If you notice, he said September 2017....as in this coming September. Was there an equipment change announced?

I would have thought a lot more people would have bids in for 7ERB.

Well believe it, people bid it without qualifiers and didn't get it. No one.
