This shouldn’t be terribly surprising.

Wasn’t the hangar that United wanted built at EWR - you know, the one that ended Smisek’s career - specifically slated for Dreamliner maintenance?

I couldn’t imagine UA building a new maintenance hangar for a plane that never cycled through EWR ...

So it’s likely a little behind plan, but Dreamliners
finally being based at Newark shouldn’t be a shocker to anyway.

This is really the finale to the quid-pro-quo that brought down a CEO and PANYNJ chief.
