Would if you had a widebody fleet with only two aircraft types? 787-900/1000 replacing the 767er, 767-400,777 and A350. A330’s also replacing 7er’s and growth. Imagine the cost savings in DH pay alone!
Maybe we are in for a surprise soon!

He probably said something like “we continuously evaluate all options, including the 787.”

But what’s the source?

Has anybody jumpseated into and out of Cancun? Loads look a little tight so I was going to just list for the jumpseat. Anything different with international jumpseats? Do I just list on icrew like any other jumpseat? Thanks guys!

The source is from Ed’s skyhub Q&A last week for Flight Standards folks. The clip shown to me had Ed specifically saying more than once we are interested in the 787, and that we need a Boeing order to keep Boeing in the game here. The 350 is performing great as well he mentioned. Things we need to address with the fleet, but we are happy with it.
