No. Not one little peep. We are looking at 150-200 upgrades on the next AE.

I personally don't think it will happen, but I have heard the word more than once now in the last couple weeks. Right after the first time I heard it, Ed Bastain made his comment about not anticipating any hiring this year.
Ok, first of all there are around 8 757's that may be parked. No one has said a word about 320's, but I could see some of the older ones being parked. But only if Airbus doesn't get the airframe life extended. Second, who has said a single word about B717's being delayed? Financially and economically, we are better off then 2008/2009, & we didn't furlough then.
Please step off of the negative rumor go round, before you make yourself sick.
