Remember Also we have 115 727's and 38 Dc-10's........all 3 seaters.
We are retiring both of these airframes........if you replace them 1 for 1..you are lose 5 crew members per airplane......(Using the company Formula of 5 crews per plane)
153 X 5 = 765 seats that won't be there when all the 3 holers are gone. If the Age 60 changes.......that also factors in.
