He obviously misses something, he’s on this side of the forum like he still works here.

Best case scenario, until they decide to get widebodies, is the 321XLR. If that cannot do the job reliably then nothing for FLL/MCO until widebodies. For now, I expect most LR/XLR will be used to fill out JFK and BOS to Europe(XLR going deeper into Europe). From the pocket sessions over the last year, it seems there are a good amount more European destinations that they want to fly to from the N.E.

This is probably not worth mentioning since it all will turn out to be dangling carrots, but a couple pocket sessions ago, Robin said(yes I know) if the merger went through then widebodies would be pushed to 7-9 years from now, if merger fails then about 2 to 3 years. Now Robin is leaving so that plan will probably leave with him. He loves his widebodies.

Also, if they’re gonna try widebodies, they will need to bring back their cargo department.
