We are still awaiting the full details before we can speculate on the impact.
If it is the Air Berlin A332 and it remains in an Air Berlin config, then it represents a decrease in U/C, no premium economy and an increase in economy.
There is also the fact 4 aircraft are coming in to replace 3, so, that in itself is an interesting prospect.
This scenario is only until May. Later in the year, according to the VS email, the aircraft will be reconfigured to a full VS spec.
We also have the fact that routes to SFO and BOS appear to be going year round according to OAG, so, perhaps the small MAN subfleet could be a good thing.
