2025
321 NB aircraft NG/MAX
80 170’s
3850 pilot seniority in 2025
If the the economy holds, if not there is flexibility to swap out some 737NG’s for Max’s.
All Airbus and positions have buyers

Your inside info is always spot on and I for one appreciate it. It is nice to get a look behind the curtain, a glance at the crystal ball.
I'm glad that you ignore these kids who throw a hissy fit when you tell them something they don't want to hear. I appreciate you telling the truth regardless of the message. Please keep doing it from time to time so old guys like me can stay in the loop.
Thanks again!

This shows 62 current E175. Also shows 33 Q400.
If the Q's go away, that would be a net reduction in regional aircraft.
I doubt they would go for any huge changes to the mainline/regional balance in the middle of contentious scope negotiations. Especially regional E190s.
That would not give the appearance of bargaining in good faith and would thus increase the odds of NMB releasing the union.

So the big question, if we are going single fleet then is there any point in opening a Bus SEA base only to close it a short term later? It would seem the cheapest way to transition would be to reduce/vacancy LAX from Airbus/Boeing respectively, and for SFO close/open Airbus/Boeing?

I'll go ahead and make a prediction for the 18 unallocated ERJs: Skywest will get 8, and Horizon will get 12. They'll both end up with 40 each.

It we weren’t going single fleet, wouldn’t we have ordered or acquired Airbus by now? It just seems that in a time when we need airplanes, the silence means we have no interest in Airbus?
It’s for that reason it seems like we are headed for a single fleet. Hoping for at least 100-150 MAX orders!
