Who has 787's and A-350 orders? Who has A-380's? Who paraded around ATL in a new 787-9? The only thing I see is us parking big airplanes and replacing them with smaller ones while our JV partners have sizeable orders for 787's, 350's, 380's, and 777's. But we should celebrate....we've added dozens of 717 captains in the last few months.
