This is a silly semantics discussion, obviously I wasnt referring to the short and medium range configuration of the plane. It is the narrow body 321 w lie flats that also does OPO-EWR. The reason i called it a “neo” is that the TP ticketing agents called it that when i inquired with them if this was the same plane flying OPO-EWR. I’m sorry, but anyone paying any attention to TP new configurations isnt going to think for a minute that they are going to go backwards and put a non lie flat seat on a US route like IAD.
