Except it will be non-traditional transatlantic. If there's an island out there with a non-grooved wet runway, with high terrain adjacent, controllers that barely speak English, and marginal length for medium brakes, JB will take two pilots with 105 hrs in type each, both on their second red eye in a row, and after an all day commute and find said island to offer service at 3am local.

Hey hey hey, now ALL our SEA layovers are in lovely Tacoma... nice hotel granted, but still Tacoma. OTOH at least we still use the hotel in SDQ with verified break-ins to a sleeping pilot's room by hotel staff. Bluewatch is all over that😡

I personally am not. Once the cat is out of the bag, it's tough to get it back in. Unless there is a new development, I don't think they'll backtrack. Plus it's more beneficial to US carriers than to Cuban ones. The only argument to be made is that tourists are going to Cuba instead of US destinations, which I don't think is significant. If anything it's cannibalizing other Caribbean tourism.
