We have 65 of these on order (40 from LUAL and the 25 LCAL). This is going to be a growing fleet for many years still.
Very true but this was a major oops for the negotiating committee as these are 24 widebodies worth of new positions while the 747s were already fully staffed. In order to protect maybe 10-15 positions on the 747 that might have gone to exCAL guys they gave up the ability to bid on hundreds of widebody slots. Don't get me wrong, I have no heartache about the fences.
