The 'glut' of w/b orders is only a 1-2 year bump. They're still taking the orders. They just said in a perfect world the delivery schedule would be slightly different. It's the net result of two different airlines ordering a/c and now being delivered to one airline.

I saw in another forum AA isn't going to charge for 1st class travel starting in June. Any truth? If so, my wife is WAY stoked!

787 deliveries total 30 in the next 3 yrs. Add in two 777-300ER's and 16 A350's by then and the w/b increase will be 23-28 airframes.
The retiring 767's might be replaced by 787's or upgauged with A332's, A333's, or 772's.

It was only ten bucks, one beer and a meal and you made your money back. Also, it was a great way to bump your chances of getting home up a bit, since most people didn't want to pay. Personally, I listed for it whenever I didn't have the jumpseat booked and the plane was close to full on commutes. I always listed for it for non rev personal (non commuting) travel.

1. For the people willing to pay the F/C fee it's a setback.
2. For the people who used to be unwilling to pay the F/C fee it's a gain.
3. On average the typical seat for #1 has gone down. The typical seat for #2 has gone up.
