It’s all over FB as well as pulling long haul out of LAX. The B757-300s are not all going but they don’t have transatlantic range. So it’s gonna be B763s for Scotland or a pull out.

Fair comment, I wonder if it's as much to attack EK as it is to make money, I suspect both will be true. Either way, it's all upside for EDI and the consumer.
