American orders 47 787’s

737-600's, yeah. But 700's, those are still shiny.

For all-coach and high density operators maybe. For dual class airlines unless you need the performance an 800 costs almost the same on a per-trip basis but has much higher revenue potential. If @MikeD is referring to the three ex-GOL planes Southern Jets bought for parts, well, that’s about what use they are.
 
Yeah, that was while an A330 was down and instead an A321 oversold by 120+ people per day was doing KEF-SFO/LAX to keep the airline afloat lol. The flight would plan for a stop in YEG or GEG, but usually overfly them and go non-stop. The most impressive thing is that at least one day, WOW flew a normal(non-NEO) A321 to LAX with a fuel stop.

This went on at least 1 month I think, that $350 ticket from SFO to AMS via Iceland doesn't look so good anymore when you land in Iceland on the way home and find out the last leg is oversold by over 120 people, and so is the next flight which isn't for several days anyway, and you're given the $57 remaining on your ticket as the airline has no interline agreements and dumped in Iceland. Hopefully with a high credit limit.
WOW

Crocodile tears for WOW and their clientele.
