any idea of the trips the 330 would fly out of SLC?

330 out of SLC will do what the ER is doing now. CDG/AMS/LHR. Rumors of ICN with the new terminal next summer. 330 also does seasonal HNL.

350-1000 will do LAX/SYD. Not sure about the -900.

For what it's worth, Glen Hauenstein said in a investor call recently that he wasn't seeing the 321XLR for our TATL network. He explained his doubts that it's the solution, mentioned pilot wages being a factor, and reiterated the desire for a NMA solution. I'm assuming by wages, he means its affect on CASM.

We’re getting them for sure then if he said that. 😂

that’s great. I’m surprised about pdx and Sfo service. Is that going to be daily? Currently we do it over Christmas and spring break on the 73N so maybe that’s what he was talking about.

The A350-900 ULR is the longest range version with normal interiors.

That'd be my guess. Wonder where the 350 will be deployed to. Same city pairs as 777 or some Europe mixed in? I'm staying put in LAX 7ER-A until the smoke clears after summer flying. I'm guessing another season of green slip opportunities.

Sorta sounds like how the new 787 was touted as opening up "long and thin" markets.....and it never really happened. At least not to the scale that the marketing propaganda projected. Maybe this will be different since it isn't a widebody?

We are going to need more than 100.

Delta has options for 100 more NEO’s. I assume we will exercise options. Maybe convert a few to NEO LR or XLR?

i believe Aer Lingus flies the NEO-LR

Target audience. Might not be us. If you're the Airbus Sales guy in North America and you hear this, all you hear is, "The airplane is too expensive." The manufacturers can't control our costs...only the price. I think the Sales team at Airbus will reshuffle the PowerPoint deck to show an optimistic ROI horizon, and be ready for the re-pitch. I also think our negotiators will read that comment...chuckle...and press on as directed.
