Meh. WATRS airspace. So we can go direct SJU-BWI without having to hug the coast as if we were flying a Cessna Bugsmasher...

Not really a precursor to a wide body order.

No it didn’t. He was responding to the email/iPad training comments that would be required for NAT/ETOPS reminding people that we already do that for WATRS airspace. Which, as I alluded, isn’t very different operationally from NAT Ops.

At this point anything is possible. We have oceanic flight planning on Jepps now. The aircraft order is imminent and if it will make money, Atlantic or NOPAC, we will do it.
