Heres some gems i've been hearing lately **RUMOR ALERT**

Some DC9s going to LAX to reinstate some of the flying that ExpressJet was doing last year for DAL out of LAX.

New plan for the DC9 includes more than was expected. The -40s will be flown until they come up on heavy mx and then parked but the -30s will include more than was proposed. As the -30s reach heavy mx they will be swapped out 1:1 with those in storage (35ish total). All -50s are getting painted and they are "looking into" converting the cockpits over to match the -88 cockpit so as to enable everyone to fly them. They like the -50 for the roll that it fills and doing that would enable them to be flown until DAL decides on the replacement.

10ish DC9s going to ATL to replace some of the 76 seat feed and the 76ers will thus fill for some of the 50 seaters that are going bye bye.

the 787-800s slots are going to get sold to foreign airlines that dont need the extra weight that was promised and thus we will get in the line up for the -900 versions. We are going to be able to sell the -800 slots for a pretty good profit since we got them at a good rate being the launch customers. With those profits we'll see more 777s in their place.

Also there's rumors floating around that we'll by frontiers airbuses since Republic wants to go to an all Embraer product.

Thats just my contribution to the rumor pile here
