The MD-11 seems to lose flying to the 777 every month ...

The 757 captain BLG is 73 hours in June while the F/O BLG is 71. So I think our captains are taking some of the bus flying.

SIG notes tell all, or at least will answer your questions. Or you can open all the bid packs and multiply the number of pilots times the average blg for June and compare it to another 4 week month and report back to us.

Our CEO was clear in his remarks to analysts during the last earnings call: "We are parking planes and reducing flight hours."

They are parking the 310-200s again. We are losing flying because we are losing airframes. SIBA lines are being picked up by the 757. At least one 300 was brought back to the states and I believe a couple of 310s. Almost all of the Airbus leases expire by 2020, so we are going to start seeing that flying shifting to other airframes

The 72 is also losing flying at a pretty good clip.
