Remember, Richard is the guy who brought the first Airbus to North West. He loves Airbus, and he hates spending money (the last DC9 just now retired).
Notice what he just ordered, a bunch of 321's and 10 330's.
I doubt if we'll ever see Richard order another new Boeing widebody, he is constantly talking down the 777 as a jet with nowhere to go.

Ask the important question: Which one will pay more?

Truth is, the real person responsible for the A330 at NW was Mickey Foret who was the numbers guy for years there. Worked Airbus over on that deal, especially since all the internal studies at NW showed the 777 was too big. He's on the BOD with Delta.

Mil LV question for u experts out there. I took 10 days of MLOA this month. Only had to drop 3 of the 16 on call
days this month. My sched now shows proj credit of only 48. The way I figure it, I should get 58.5. Res gar of 72 with 16 on call days equals 4.5 hrs per day so they should only subtract 13.5 for those 3 dropped on call days right???

The only 'good news' I've heard from the LCA's is that the 777 will be going to London come May or June, after they've added more seats, and that Boeing was in ATL a few months ago, pitching the 777-300 as the replacement to the 747.
Replacement jets, not growth jets.
We have yet to see an A/E replacing the retiring 777/747 Capts.

It would have been nice to see a couple of CA/FO openings for the 330 or other wide bodies. Hopefully some senior FO's will finally upgrade.

"The 7ER block hours will peak in July and decrease by 25 percent by the time we reach December 2014."
Currently 1493 7ER capt - 25% = 373 displacements
Currently 1791 7ER F/O - 25% = 447 displacements
YIKES
That is a lot of people bidding and displacing to lower paying jobs.
And yes we will have the 330 coming on property in 2015 but they will barely offset the the above reduction.
