Guess they'll be installing in-flight refueling probes on those E190s and CS3...errr...A220s.

guess you don’t know much about the A220

 

No, I don't. Enlighten me: can it do, say, something benign, like maybe BOS-LIS?

Has a range now of nearly 3,800 miles.

 

Hawaii, it’s an over saturated destination and we don’t do cargo.

Europe, you can fly literally any other carrier that has food and inflight entertainment for 6+ hours. People don’t go to Paris on vacation with only a carry on, and the ancillaries wouldn’t make our fare competitive. Our target demographic is storming a Walmart on Black Friday for a $200 flat screen, not shopping at Harrods.

Plus you have to make the whole fleet ETOPs, and do like JetBlue where only certain pilots are qualified to do the routes.

Deep South America is interesting, but not enough to justify a different type (330 rumors go back nearly 2 decades). If we can do some more with a 321XLR fantastic let’s order some planes and hire more pilots. Just send me a post card because I have no desire to do 8 hours on a red eye in a 320 cockpit.

 

All great points. Let’s expand our route network in the US and increase the frequency of flights first.

 

I heard SFO, DAL, SLC will be announced soon.

As well as A321neo routes, which is supposed to include a bunch of (longer) routes from BWI. Of course that is far out.

I heard all this from a FA.

 

It’s twoo, it’s twoo!


I’d put money on BWI and IAH. Both are busy stations, BWI has long been set up and anticipated and DFW is hemmed in by they of $40B indebtedness.

 

Neelmam said the same crap at JetBlue the entire time he was there.

It only took him leaving and another decade and a half to make it happen.

Just curious, where did you go to flight school and what did you think about the quality of training/education there?
