And while it won’t sustain the route alone, perhaps TPA-AMS may be hoping to capture some int’l USG traffic too? US SOCOM is HQ’ed at MacDill AFB and I believe generates a significant amount of overseas traffic, and I imagine a lot of that traffic doesn’t wait for the Rotator birds.

The majority of DL's 763s were delivered between 1998 and 2000. BA has a ton of old 777s from the late 90s and the 3 LH Cityline 340s are only a year or two younger on average.
So you're either going to need to connect in the US to get on those brand spankin new tech wonders or you're flying WK, in which case, doesn't sound overly convenient for travel to/from the UK.

Hah. Why thank you.
Will actually be in downtown Bradenton and have my first flight out of TPA on 9-27-18 (heading to DEN).
Will miss PBI as my home airport. Have gotten to know almost all the staff and taken very good care of me the past 4 years.
