On the 330 front tho, several months ago we were offered 3 each A330's for the price of one 777. This sort of deal may have resurrected itself, but RA said in the last LCA mtg that there would be no new aircraft purchases for 3-4 years and that "growth" would occur by pulling planes out of the desert.

I'm stating a fact here: Open skies w Japan and JAL JV are separate issues. - Rumor is that DAL/DALPA is trying to get DOT to delay open skies until after JAL JV issue is over (whether DAL or American is succesful). To me this seems backward, but that's the rumor. rumor: SEA 76er won't happen this bid. Talk amonst yourselves. |
The "white tail" A330 rumor has been around for awhile. Interesting idea, Boeing picks them up somehow and then leases them to us (ie no AC purchased and no loss of 777 line placements to make up for the 787 buffonery) and then we trade them back for 787-9s when Boeing gets TSTG'er.
Interesting.......just enough "could happens" to make for a good rumor:cool: Crap, may have to put that SEA 330 bid afterall. Hey Denny, is the o'l couch still available:o Ferd |

A330's from Boeing? When did Boeing purchase Airbus?
I recall a handful of years ago, Boeing reached deals with a couple of international airlines to lease A340's until 777's could be delivered. This DL rumor sounds like much of the same scenario... |
