Why don't you tell us what you think the fleet plan will be. The orders are well known as well as the RFP's. tell us what you think the retirements will be over the next 4 years.

We also hold options for 30 more 737's. the fleet plan has us parking 85 757's in that period. There will be some A320's parked in Addition to the 757's however the net gain in airframes should be around 130 hulls. That number includes the 90's not yet in service.
Thanks Sailing for the info, but dont you know that facts aren't nearly as entertaining as rumors and speculation?

It's not the orders/RFPs that are problematic, necessarily. Tell us, sailing, what you think the mainline retirement plan will be. We'll take your number and multiply it by 7. That should keep us close to reality.

There is nowhere left to expand to. We've done gone and codeshared/JV'ed our international growth out of existence.

If ALPA gets its way, we'll outsource our heavy international growth, and take our Williston-MSP x15/day on the 717/739 for a COLA -1.2% contract (along with the usual givebacks, of course). Say it with me: "Obamacare exchange." And we'll like it.

Because "that's what the survey said" we wanted.

For MD 90 numbers, as of the official fleet count on April 1, 54 of a planned 65 were in service.

Which is why you as a union seek an exemption, like the IRS's own National Treasury Employees Union, NTEU. Otherwise you have to use negotiating capital to keep near status quo.
