Then subtract out the number of 757's and 767's scheduled for parking or retirement. According to management's current plan, you might want to soften your "will."
Here's what Scambo had to say last year about posts like yours:
Of course, after pointing at this several times, slowplay doesn't actually POST what the numbers are-- we have to assume he's looked at it and knows what it says, but the #1 rule of a slowplay post is NEVER POST AN ACTUAL FACT, ONLY POST RHETORICAL QUESTIONS that imply you're right and the other guy doesn't know his stuff... without ever actually supporting yourself.
I for one always think slowplay is a pretty smart poster who is thinking hard about this stuff and knows more than me... but OMG why doesn't he ever just post the numbers he thinks support his argument instead of posting rhetorical questions? I'd probably be all "Go slow, go slow!" instead of "hmm, sounds like a weasel-style lawyer-politician side-step answer, I think I'll not believe him and side with the other opinion until proven otherwise".
