Might work some specific short markets. Faster than driving, and skips big airports.
Obviously won't see trans-oceanic service though... cruise ships are cheaper and have more amenities. Also while pax might eat the time for a few hundred miles, they won't for lomg haul.

I just found the headline amusing in light of the Boom announcement.

Read 1-L-25. It defines NSNB as the CS100, E190/195 with no mention of other types. I’d argue that it doesn’t. Sounds like Kirby has realized he isn’t getting more rj’s anyway since the company is buying so many new max planes. Sounds good to me. The 737 pays better than an rj.
