No. Surprisingly three legs on on the same plane. Only switched when we went from -800 to -900 or vice versa. 3 legs on the same 900 both 4 leg days

It will be hard to replace 88 flying with a smaller aircraft because everything is full. Unless they increase frequency.

The 330, 767-400, ER and 757 transcon flights out of NYC all have lie flat seats. They do transcons because of that. I don’t think the 321NEO will have those. It is a premium market as you say.

It also explains why those aircraft are relatively junior. If you’re in the bottom third of those fleets you may wind up flying non-commutable two day trips to the west coast on a regular basis. I am sure many of those pilots would like to have the 321NEO take those trips. Marketing wouldn’t let it happen however.

The early transcons from JFK and the late arrivals back into JFK seem to cycle through the fleets. For some time the 330 and 764 have been trading off the 7AM departure. They usually make up the bulk of the open time.

I've heard some the NEOs will have lie flat. 767-400 will likely return to pure Int'l after Delta One Suites upgrades are completed

There is also some seasonality in the usage of the WB fleet on transcon flights. When the international flying increases over the summer, the WB transcons will be reduced. Network is very good about chasing the yield with airframes throughout the year.

Three different long threads is too much to dig through. How junior/plug did LAX 320 go? And systemwide junior CA plug was 2015 CS NYC?

The plan overall is to upgrade size as the 88 retire. The A321’s are coming fast and furious and we are finishing adding a bunch of 737-900’s.
