That seemed to be the idea when the plan was to update all planes to allow for retractable landing gears, but now that they’ve done it without updating old planes I imagine they are more open to new planes especially those that relate to a recently released or upcoming airport.
the fokker 100 and 70 have a wingspan smaller than the E175 so i dont see how they would be used as mediums, in my opinion it would be a waste of space but it would be great to have them in small so we could put the Allaince fokkers in the small section of the jetstar terminal so the jet bridges have a use and also the jet bridge at the virgin air jet bridge and d1 jet bridge cant work either without an e170-75
Could they not use the starboard entry or even just go up through the jetway? Maybe they’d have to take turns with catering but not sure these flights have more than snack crackers and soda.
