[QUOTE=Sunvox;1730036]Talk about spin. Explain to me how going from 557 planes to 255 planes in the UAX fleet over a 6 year period is a loss even if the seats go from 50 to 76 which is not wholly accurate because the fleet already had 100+ 70 seaters.

Just one correction to your fleet facts. The express fleet is not shrinking to 255 aircraft. Our scope currently restricts the 70/76 seat fleet to a total of 255 aircraft. UAL can have an unlimited number of 50 seaters as long as they stay under the 120% block hour restriction. At the end of 2014 the express fleet will still have 557 airplanes.
That is a net loss of 15 airframes for the year. The 50 seaters may be on the way out but the fleet is not being scoped down to 255 airframes.
