LR- No altitude restrictions?
I was checking out our JFK-LHR flights online and noticed they were flying >FL350. So no "break in period" MEL for those aircraft? Or have we swapped engines so that they have higher time engines off of some other NEOs?

That being said we should be babying those engines, we don’t want a shutdown on an etops segment in our first few months of certification. If they were crafty they would indeed hang broken-in engines on those LRs as you alluded to hedge our bets!

The London flights don’t have the MEL and have been planned higher making me think they have swapped the original engines.
