The trans-Atlantic JV measures in Widebody ASK. Widebody is dual aisle. As written, narrowbody flying would not count towards our side of the JV compliance balance.

You know Bar, if we attack it from that angle, assuming we could get make it happen, I guess I can't disagree with that. Would the economics of such a plane enable us to fly to more of the burgs & villes in Europe? Does it have the range to get much past the UK? If we're going to fly them to Europe, I sure hope there is a nice crew bunk.

“Get your price, or get your deal.”
Airbus makes a superior product, at least from the passenger and commercial pilot end, and it’s no longer even close.(Your mileage may vary).
Interesting change of direction from a company known for at least a decade for grabbing the “low hanging fruit” (717s). Maybe the rumored “fire sale” of the MAXes didn’t materialize?
