I've heard story after story of aircraft swaps the last couple of weeks!
I doubt they can get these aircraft ETOPS certified any time soon. We'll probably see them flying domestically for a while longer until they get the reliability up. If you think getting maintenance done in MSY is challenging, imagine trying to do it in ADK after a diversion of a DEN-NRT.
