You would be spot on.....This wouldn't have anything to do with CAL's 'close' relationship with Boeing at that time would it??

As I recall the only aircraft Lorenzo brought over from Eastern was the A360--the ones Borman leased for $1 from Airbus back in the day. Useless ramp queen, kinda like Frank himself.
