We've been doing it for years already. I did BDL-LAS recently blocked at 5:50.
No AVOD, but unlike most, our wifi is satellite instead of ground based. This makes it usable anywhere - not just over the Conus.

Looks like Boeing can build a 737 in 11 days. So I guess those 737-800 that are coming out for SWA won't be started until sometime in Jan 2012. See the below link for more info:

The A321 is a pig with a much shorter range payload then the 737-800. It is quite a bit worse then the A320 and Jet Blue has had big problems in the winter with fuel stops going East.

Remember that the 737-800 was a response to Boeing getting schlacked in sales going to the A320, which was introduced at the same time Boeing introduced the 737-400 and 500. The 737NG's have the additional fuel capacity (48,800 lbs) so they can fill in where the 320 fell short on range.

No idea what a 737 can do, and have No interest in finding out.
