In just a little over 10 years from now, this airline will have just 2 models of airplanes. The B737 and B787.

The days of the 20+ year old airplanes are over in the passenger airline industry. The Aging Aircraft Inspection Program under Operation Specification D485 effectively makes any airframe in the program unable to operate at a profit. If you haven't seen this list of airplanes, you'll be surprised to see the number of UAL aircraft that are already on it and are a drain on the financial position of this airline. Let alone the reliability of the overall system.

Take a look at the order-books at Boeing and Airbus. No one is ordering big airplanes. We are not going to replace the B-747-400 and their days are numbered. The B767-300 will be gone by the time the B787 gets here. Everyone knows the B757-200 economy version is history and being replaced by CAL registered and ETC financed B737's

If you could finance a new airplane when do you think you could take delivery? 6 years? 8 years?

My guess the arbitrators will look at several snap shots. They will take a few of the future also. We know the make up of the seniority lists and the retirements are a given. We also have the aircraft order-book and have an idea what is coming, that is also a given. The unknown is how long this Fat Headed Management will continue ****ing away cash on a bunch of Dead Horse airplanes.

You better make room for all those WB pilots to bump down into those damn Guppies.

It's going to be a blood bath.
