Are these 6 A330s net gain aircraft, or 767 replacements??
Based on the 767 disposal schedule I've seen, HA should see a gain in a/c over the next 2 years. The 330's are all supposed to be on property by 2015... That leaves a year or two gap before the NEO's and 350 possibly arrive in 2017. So maybe a possible reduction from the time the last 330 arrives until the new stuff arrives. (2016/17)...
This is my own personal conclusion. I haven't heard anything or talked/gossiped with anyone about it. So don't take my prediction as fact.
