You are correct Sir. We would never put 737's on some of the shorter Atlantic routes. Like BOS to Ireland. Or BOS to London. That would be crazy. It would be just like putting RJs on 1000+ legs in the states.
OH, wait a minute. Never-mind.
But, we have no problem on putting them on the longest over-water leg we have such as the West Coast to Hawaii.
Yeah. It will never happen!

Deadheading to CDG. Looking in FOM, looks like I can have a cocktail in business as long as I'm in civilian clothes? Sound correct?
I've never DHd internationally.

Anyone at the NYC roadshow care to post an update? Maybe in the TA section?

I don't see the 737 going to Europe. Why wouldn't Delta just swap those A321's for A321LR neo's, those are 4000+ range?

I got behind a British Airway A-319 on the track one night-he was headed JFK to London City I think. All first class config. I could see something like this happening down the road with us.
