I did some digging in old annual reports and Q-10 reports but the information was a bit dated.
Thanks!
The old fleet plan (before yesterday's announcement) said 6 airplanes in 2015 and 4 in 2016 (this is from memory, but the numbers are close). In 2017 the max starts showing up. In total we have 79 firm orders and around 45 options. There are approximately 30 -400s to retire, and I wouldn't be surprised to see many of the -700s (I think there are 12) go away too.
