The plan is/was for the first XLRs to take over the 321T routes while they were in for retrofit so what you’re saying makes no sense.

Never heard of this XLR order change either. Either way, still need bodies to fly new deliveries

It's the other way around, they changed some NEO orders for more XLRs awhile ago. Originally it was 50 XLRs now something like 64.

Regardless, why is anyone in such a big hurry to fly TATL with a REC MAX of 320 for 8 hours? The LEAPs help but the plane is still a dog when it’s heavy.

Because it takes forever to hold WB and in the meantime, layovers in Edinburgh frankly sound better than Omaha and 8 legs per trip.

That's the reality, at least it's one and done.
