That is indeed what happened corporate-wage-slave. Media and local business executives got to tour the aircraft. The best tidbit from the Times Picayune video I've linked to below is at minute 17 when the FA says the route has exceeded expectations and that a plane with first class has been penciled in for the future already. I imagine it would be a 789 on the route. We here in New Orleans are also hoping the route will go daily soon.
