Any Ideas what city pairs the A/C will be doing first. I've heard a bunch of different ones but nothing confirmed. Any ideas.......

Heres the scoop. Believe it if you like.
JFK-AUS 3X daily in Jan
JFK-BOS 12X daily
JFK-PBI
JFK- Other Blue Florida Cities.
Several New Cities for the 190 first 2 quarters next year.

Good scoop...heard earlier in the month that we had rights to 15 gates (or something like that) in IAD. Possibly some 190 business there? Raleigh and other southeast also good bets.

Well it's pretty much industry standard to introduce a new aircraft on existing city pairs that include in-house mx for the first few months. Obviously this helps iron out the inevitable ‘bugs’ before further complexity (i.e. new cities or non-mx stations) are introduced.

Take a look at the route map, figure out which cities are mx bases and you’ll have a pretty good guess:

After a few months of operation you can then expect to see additional non-mx cities and/or all-new destinations.

Come to think of it, RDU was mentioned, as well as RIC, SRQ, MLB, DAB and others, however I believe those city pairs were simmering on the back burner. As I look into my crystal ball, I think you will hear an announcement on or very near (wink) October 10th which will address the 190's destinations.
