No idea how.
Was it for balance? We sometimes get payload optimized on the neo for balance. We can still take everyone, they just have to sit where they're told.

That flight today (2398) has two alternates. I'm guessing it's MSLW issue, but I'm not a 330 guy.

Yes, it’s a LW issue.

APD meeting was earlier this week, they were told 787 announcement likely in Q1. I dont place much more faith in APD rumors than I do in gossip from van drivers, but do with that what you will.

6 years ago our STL van driver told us her girlfriend was a nurse at one of the hospitals and that they were talking about “shutting down the city and going into lockdown because of some disease”. My FO and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. This was late January 2020. Just saying, van drivers are good ressource sometimes.

To be fair, by mid-December 2019 the then-unnamed virus spreading in China was being reported on by major news outlets daily in the US. I remember tracking it like a slow train wreck and I'm not even remotely tied to the healthcare world.
