The public statement was:
They were not sure where the 765 fit in NYC after this summer. They did not insinuate a larger or smaller category up there, only that there was a decision that was going to be made.
I guess it is time to dig. All of I have heard is that, there is a ?-mark up there with the 765. No more no less.

Had a lightbulb moment the other day...... In regards to the LGA/DCA veto by the gubmint:
Didn't jetBlue state that it might move its HQ to Florida......... That might have been a piece of "bait" for Schumer, et al to help squash the slot swap....
I.e. "If you let DAL get a strong presence in NY, we WILL move the HQ to Florida like we have been saying. BUT if you make sure the swap gets derailed we will be happy to stay headquartered in NYC.
Just some food for thought. Have a great weekend.

After the summer is the issue. IMO, they need to quit n-th degree optimizing every jet. Put the 764 on the pax-heavy, cargo-light legs at or near its maximum range.
765 really does NOT fit neatly between the 76er and the A330, but does work on Bucharest, Kiev, budapest, all of italy, nice, MAD, SVO, London. 330 ought to get Ath, Ist, DKR, ACC and south amer. -er/ 75 gets everything else although I'm sure Ive missed something.

We have been hearing that the rest of the fleet is going North since Jan. 1. Probably in the fall bid.

Okay, so some 777s went ATL to DTW, some 330s might go MSP/DTW to ATL, all 764s from ATL to NYC, some 763s from (NYC?) to SEA, what goes into MSP/DTW?
and do I need to restart ATL and/or MD88 sucks posts again? I can always find dirt on ATL. MD88... not so much. I like that airplane and it likes me despite giving me a scar on my forehead for a few days that made me look like Harry Potter.
