Oh. Sorry. 61 not 71. That's still a lot of pilots not hired....are we still gonna "have fewer than 100- 50 seat aircraft by the end of 2019"??? I don't think so...not with this Air Willy deal and 700 deferral. Show me where we "reshuffled the deck", other than shuffling more RJs for deferred 700s. What a difference a year makes.....



CHICAGO, March 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today announced an order to purchase 25 new Boeing 737-700 aircraft. The order is in addition to the previously announced order of 40 737-700s. United will take delivery of the aircraft beginning at the end of 2017.
The new 737-700 aircraft will enable United to continue utilizing larger, more efficient aircraft as the airline reduces the size of its 50-seat regional fleet. United expects to have fewer than 100 aircraft in its 50-seat fleet by the end of 2019.
