Nov/dec ae
 
Word on Street:

40 777As 70 330As and 46 350As

And this is not including the additional 350 deliveries announced yesterday.

Lots of movement coming. One of these A positions dropping to a pilot in their 40s is not too far off

Those are great lookin numbers but since the big bid covered all know retirements and unplanned attrition through next May they seem a bit high.

They seems way too low to me.

Big surprise.

Big surprise.

The triple 7 flying should have all been covered in the big bid unless they plan increased utilization or pilots leaving early are much higher than expected. We get 3 additional A330’s next year so that’s about 30 to 40 additional positions depending on routes. I have no idea on when the LATAM 350’s will enter service. If before summer they will need crews but I doubt we can get more than two or three flying by then. The 2 scheduled deliveries were also covered in the big bid.

The 777 utilization may be higher once all planes are back in service after the cabin mods.

Ok. Does anyone have any first hand info from a base roadshow?

What exactly are they saying about the 777? Sticking around? Incompatible with the 350 ...?

Don't believe anything until you see the AE memo. The word passed around the 737 school house was that management detests the 350 and they were all wishing we would order the 1967 Volkswagen Beetle with bluetooth and touchscreen navigation(737MAX) along with 787s.

If the price is right it seems detesting has little to do with it.
