If it reopens around the same time we do, you can watch those 200's be used in some capacity as they will fill them happily!
If the US border doesn't reopen till AFTER the UK School summer holidays they will be gone for sure. I'm not sure what the deal is with them now, I doubt Boeing are still funding them as part of the 787 engine issues?
I think some of the acquisition costs were funded by Rolls-Royce, but I could be wrong and can't really remember as it was over 3 years ago.
I agree if it gets past the summer period without a significant upturn in the flying programme then their days in the fleet must surely be numbered.
