When do they start parking the 300s?

Don't know. Just passing word from a planner. Hasn't the 787 picked up a few already?

If not a 787 then probably outsource it to British Airways.

Full circle back to the rumored A330-800 order. When there are just the remaining 767 and 788/9 some other aircraft needs to pick-up the slack IF they want to continue those ORD routes. Management continues to stress the importance of the ORD hub but all I see is downsizing. Anyway, I personally do not think it is a priority over the other bases/hubs right now...

All that talk was made whilst Scooter the Wonder Boy was here. When he bailed for United, things changed. Long-range planning here is "How do the evening flights look?"

Thread resurrection.

With the latest movement, any updates on speed of movement to a Gp IV FO position? Or maybe a better way to ask: is there movement out of the right seat (besides retirements) to facilitate movement lately?

Will PHL be the next 78 base? If so, and guesses on when? Most likely based on upcoming 78 deliveries?
