Loco longhaul is a totally different business, the costs are totally different. Crewing for one example. I do feel however, that it could work from LBA and NCL but am not so sure about MAN given it already has links to the US albeit not Loco. The established carriers would probably lower their fares to try to keep the new operator out of their patch. LBA and NCL could both support US east coast and Canada flights LBA has in the past had Canadian links. I am not sure this is the way Jet2 will go however, the start up costs to gain ETOPS are not small! We can all hope if they do go this way lets hope it's soon before CO start a NCL or even a LBA/EWR.
