So you’re saying F9 was EARLY for something? Nah, what seems more plausible is the “July announcement” was nothing more than bored pilot drivel.

Announcing orders for new A321 XLRs and possible flights to Hawaii and Europe is not exactly anticlimactic.

Did I miss a memo in comply?

The conversion of neo orders to xlr's is just that. The company has not publicly or privately stated what the intent for those aircraft 5 years from now is. And I'm not surprised, the intent of aircraft 6 months from now is barely known to them.

You sure did. 6/19 memo announcing the conversion to the XLR and specifically talking about "exciting international and domestic opportunities, such as Hawaii".

It is known. They just won't tell you what it is. Would you prefer they blab it all over the news like Jet Blue just so Kirby can swoop in and cut them off 6 months in advance? No thanks

Meanwhile all of the expansion, growth, hiring, and upgrades going on sure is exciting. I got that comply memo too.

Wasn't a "July announcement " just total rumor anyhow?

And as far as the XLRs go, I guarantee you they don't know what they are going to do with them yet. Markets, economies and politics change quickly. 5 years from now is a long time. The market to Hawaii, Europe and S America could be very different from what they are today.

Or we could fully load a 321XLR in NY and fly it to LA with a 150kt winter headwind.
