Can't be true, we have industry leading scope.

We, JB, have CHOSEN not to make the required INVESTMENT and take the RISK. But we CAN and COULD HAVE. We CHOOSE not to. Low risk, low investment, take the pennies on the dollar.

JUST. AS. I. HAVE. SAID. FROM. THE. BEGINNING.

Epic fail, and a very low quality level of debate on your part going with the "you don't understand codesharing" bit.
B6 is not approved for TransAtlantic or Pacific runs yet, thus we codeshare.
When they can, based on math and wanting the 99% instead of the 1% of the fare, Im guessing they will.
Are you guessing that or just in a blind rage over your misinterpretation of codesharing?

Yes that is correct. You get why right?

The old CFO said personally to me why would I want widebodies or fly trans Atlantic when I can make money putting on other people’s plane and their overhead.

Oh shat, now you're guessing we will?

Let me spell it out for you, ETOPS simply requires a properly run ETOPS cert program, some INVESTMENT, a smidge of RISK, and about 18 months.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this airline called Virgin America? They started years after JB, flew A320s, and flew to Hawaii. We have CHOSEN not to start our ETOPS program in time to start Hawaii service. But we do codeshare with Hawaiian to HNL. And likely an Alaska codeshare on our future. And Moxy. And more JetSuiteX.

Wow Air flies BOS-KEF with current generation A321s, same as ours. We COULD have an ETOPS program, instead we codeshare to KEF.

Next year, add many European destinations to the list of places we could reach with new Airbus narrowbody delivies and an ETOPS cert. But we will codeshare.

MIC drop. BTW, Mark Powers (look it up Bozo) said the same to my face.

The only thing I can come up with is our codeshare with Silver so I probably don’t get why. What is the reason?

We dont have ETOPS now. Maybe we will, maybe we wont.
Point is, when B6 can pull in the full fare, they will.
There's no gain in codesharing a flight that they can operate.
So you believe we will go to Europe? Optimism BD?

We could go to Hawaii and Keflavik RIGHT NOW! That is, had they only made the INVESTMENT and taken the small RISK 18 months ago to get ETOPS. They CHOSE not to. They chose to codeshare instead.

Do you understand?
