Yup, we were going to have 737-600's, 700's, and 800's, along with the 75/76 fleet and 777. We had tons on order and option. The plan was also to combine the 767-400 and 777 fleets because there was a clause in the contract to blend the pay rates. Not many guys knew that little tidbit. I was a 727 F/O instructor at the time flying my trips as a 727 A out of NYC. That brings back my memory of my first trip as a Captain in NYC. In a Noreaster. First leg snowing like hell and Andy Rooney on our flight. He stuck his head in the cockpit and said "whatever you do, please don't thank us for being patient".
