And why would anyone in Network possibly be interested in that toy?
I thought you were going to say A330s
Network pilots at one point reckoned they were going to be flying the 321XLR. Or the first batch of A220s (although that rumour may have credence as I heard NJS management were hinting to NJS pilots they may possibly put the 220 in Network as a tactic to get NJS pilots to vote up that EA earlier this year).
Network's entire model is to fly aircraft that are at the end of their high daily density RPT life and operate them on low daily density charters, which is not where you put brand new aircraft.
But they keep getting told by their superiors that there's "heaps" of new aircraft "just around the corner", so stay here for a command and don't jump ship. Isn't working apparently as a whole bunch just jumped ship to Atlas, and dozens on the mainline hold file too. A lot who came from HK during Covid looking to go elsewhere too apparently.
