We are able to operate IAH without bunks, and believe that AUS also falls into the same flight time limitations for our rest requirements…

At the moment, I don't know which it will be.

Thanks. I have a friend that manages the fueling of fights in Austin and currently fuels the current BA plane. I can ask him to see the engine type. I am guessing people on here will know prior to it landing in Austin though.
