Well guy's I'm certainly not hiding, indeed I'm delighted to hear the news, I'm also truly surprised, though certainly not eating humble pie, & this is perhaps not the time for negativity. Indeed many of the obvious concerns have already been expressed by other posters today.
Best thing is simply to wait & see, after 40 or so years then this venture will need to progress considerably to remove any of my lingering cynicism.
So good luck to UA, success will need to come not from NY tourists but from the amount of onwards & business traffic that the route is able to generate.
As said then at least all those ex CO frames will provide a 757 swansong at NCL for the reggies/spotters
Word of caution, habits don't change overnight :-

Where do current NCL -NYC bound pax go EDI ? AMS ? LHR ?
I use CDG & the AF offering to NYC is pretty good 330's to EWR & 380's / 777's to NYC tried them all on numerous occasions, it will be interesting to see how "the competition" reacts...
