Yes, throws a wrench into bidding into that fleet and being junior. No bailing out of SC after the bank of 330's leaves when they have them flying domestic.

Blah... blah... blah... WGAS.
I could get on board with dot matrix if the toilet paper in The DTW Ops bathroom was upgraded from the four digit grit, sustainable, translucent single ply to a semi-soft two ply. I'm not even asking for wide tread, Cuddles Teddy Bear soft or aloe infused, just something that is gentler than kindergarten classroom construction paper (I have sensitive skin). And I'm willing to give up something for that--the fake potted plants on the sink top in the very same bathroom. I kinda feel better now. Back to GTFs and EASKs.

The clock is ticking on when they convert those 787 orders to something else. My money is on more 737s and/or 777s.

I have heard so many aircraft rumors which turned out to be false I am beginning to question my belief in Santa Claus

Just don't be the BHM commuter guy on SC who left early after all the 330s left only to have one air return and be in need of one more pilot...

Yeah, I'm still waiting for those 10 777-300ER's from....?

What we know for sure is, the 747 fleet is shrinking, and the A350 replacements won't be here for another year or so. The A321's are replacements for the 757's and the A330Neo are replacements for the 767's and or 767-400's and eventually the 777's as well.

I just flew our oldest 777, I think it came on line in 1998, so in two years it'll be 20 years old, just in time to be replaced by an A330Neo.

We'll all be speaking French before we retire!

Oui oui?
