But your CSGs and SYRs that the 200 is known to do - not so much. Maybe UA will put it on longer thin routes and customers will justify it. But even then, it’s not a cash cow like the deuce.

Besides, if someone really wants GSO to Europe, then they're driving two hours to Charlotte and flying AA.

When DL 200’s can’t compete against UA 550’s their attitude may change.
