Fleet simplicity" was the mantra when they were parking L-10s, 727s, Classic 737s, and MD-11s as quick as they possibly could. As Sailing said they swore that our very survival depended on it......
So maybe "Fleet simplicity" will be back in vogue again?
What about putting the right airplane in the right market?

Don't get me wrong.
I thought Sailing was saying that our
current management previously had the mindset to bring the fleet down to three aircraft types.
Ala, if they did get more 747-400's, it wold be opposite of what they were thinking back when they made the statement.
I guess I read too much into what he was saying, because I don't really hear anyone currently saying they are looking for fleet simplicity.
