What's the chances of this flying actually going to North American now that their owned by Global Aero Logistics?
NAA has 757/767's and the cheapest labor of the three companies they own!!

I'd say it's reasonably high, but it won't necessarily be because they're the cheapest labor. It will be because they're available.

However, N. American and Latin American codeshare will be with ATA.

GAL most certainly have a "single carrier" issue if that's the case.

My Guess: SWA flies B787 to Europe....

In 8-10 years.

Gotta get in line.

Gotta get ETOPS, MNPS, Int'l ops approval, etc.

Good luck with that! Meanwhile, everyone else is making loads of money.

Don't count out Jetblue-- They already have the quals!

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

Int'l ops, EOW, etc...

Don't see ETOPS, MNPS, and all the Int'l politcal stuff in that list. Good luck doing it in a 320.

First of all, you can't get the 787 with round gages. They all come with auto-brakes which can appear complicated if you have no education. Third, You can't taxi at 50 kts or land half-way down the runway in a widebody. So, no it's not likely to happen.

Nobody get's away with busting on 'Merica's airline and gets away with it! ;-)
