Anyone else thinking the A330s might get flipped to Rouge when the 787 fleets gets back to normal?

Right now, leisure travel is king and Y rates are yielding a better margin, but I think we can all agree the pendulum on that is going to swing back real soon (just like the popularity os Aperol Spritz ...ugh, glad that's almost over... and hopefully this Gin craze)

They didn't get to buy TS and the Porter TS combo is a stronger competitor to Rouge.

Once leisure travel yields return to normal, mainline wide-bodies to Florida and Cancun etc. might not make sense. Rouge had 20+ 767s if I recall, therefore with Winter Sun travel and Summer Europe travel, they could run those on lots of low yield routes and bring back seasonal Western Canada to Europe routes that KL were creeping into pre-pandemic.

Makes sense to me, at least...but what do I know.
