Don't know if posted yet but anyone know the # of accepted recalls? The window to accept was Saturday right?

The proposed cockpit mod for the 75 looks really good. Anyone know if there's any movement on funding it for the remaining airplanes?

I don't know any details but I'd doubt we'd see a mod like the one American has. We're parking a lot of 757s soon, the ones we have already do RNAV approaches, and the boxes seem to have plenty of waypoint capability (I think the waypoint thing is a M88/90 problem they have to solve).

While it would certainly be nice to keep more 75s, I find it very unlikely 900er economics has anything to do with it. The aircraft had established its performance in operation before the DAL order. More important, RA has a solid reputation for being extremely meticulous and methodical in his research. I doubt he will be surprised by any numbers the 900er puts up.

There has always been a hint of "stealth growth" around the 737-900 "replacement jet" order. The wild card has always been the 757 retirement schedule. Personally, with the numbers we are putting up lately, I'm thinking the stealth may start to go away. Here's hoping...

With the recent action by the DOJ signalling perhaps the end of consolidation for the time being, organic growth may again be in the cards. But that does go against all the capacity discipline of late. What about the A321 rumors that have been circulating?

I think when your dealing with the Feds it all boils down to money, lobbyists, and greasing the right wheels.
Depending on how things shake out with this AA-US merger will be very telling on how this industry consolidates and changes in the the future. Personally I see it going through after certain slots and markets are gift-horsed out to the luckiest competitor. If I was a betting man I'd say SWA will get the most out of it, and we'll probably eek out a few things from it as well. The harm of stopping this merger outweighs the harm that would be created from it.
