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.

POST SOC Prognostications
-MD90 / A320 semi-swap
-JFK777 closed DFW777 opened - approx 2.5-3 times the size of JFK approx 100-120 pilots per seat
-765 opened in JFK 8-12 jets worth of crews (some in the know think it'll happen on this bid)
IOW, no new news
I haven't asked anyone about A330's to ATL or JFK
Happy Thanksgiving

Some other rumors.
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
Crap, may have to put that SEA 330 bid afterall. Hey Denny, is the o'l couch still available

Believe it or not, it would not be the first time Boeing has leased Airbus aircraft to a customer. Boeing Capital Credit owns several Airbus frames (type and number not sure).
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...
