It seems they made the correct decision and they have not totally abandoned fleet simplification as witnessed by the last two years. It’s very difficult to attempt any fleet reductions in times of rapid growth. It’s much simpler in the tough times. Times were very tough during their 3 fleet type attempt.

Merger with NWA was obviously for their very valuable ANC cargo operation and inter-asia NRT hub operation............oh wait

There's clearly no money in cargo, inter-Asia, manageable AE's with known training timelines or historical pilot wings.

If we could just get back to the SOPA/SMAC days, all would be right with the world.

Did you read what NW said about their cargo operation pre merger? Did the shift to HND as the preferred Japanese International airport have any effect on our NRT hub?

Before we switched to HND hadn’t we dropped all the intra Asia except SIN and MNL?

So put up…what are the numbers? What is the percentage of trips where a noob doesn’t make his trip for commuting buffoonary or doesn’t finish IQ in time?

Poor attempt at humor. Not sure when you were hired, but if you haven't had the pleasure of listening to someone opine about SOPA/SMAC, you will. Same with every time you pass a 747 and someone mutters...can't make money with 747s. Or passing a 787...sure wish we had 787, we even had a sim... I'm not necessarily in disagreement, but it could almost be it's own bingo game.
