Don't think it will be XLA's old machines as the 2 a/c destined to leave are only 104,326kg MTOM aircraft where as GSM will probably need 113,800kg machines as they maybe regularly going out at 79,500kg ZFW needing a full fuel load of 34,500kg to get to EWR with standard IFR reserves especially if the service is going to run year round with those notorious NY Area snowstorms.
Why then are Globespan selling (and advertising the fact widely) seats in a three class configured aircraft (up until recently it was selling two classes only)?
They are also looking to fill vacancies at Liverpool with the line in the advert "All crew will be Manchester/Liverpool Dual Based operating on both B767 and B737 aircraft".
