Heyas,
With UAL seemingly going on a buying spree, I wonder what our "competitive response", if any, will be.
In addition to the 787s and 350s, now UAL wants bids from Embraer for narrowbodies.
Assuming that mama DAL needs a response, could a C series order be far off? Or is UAL simply going on a spending spree ala TWA before auguring in?
Next week on "As the prop turns"....
Nu

I suspect UAL is ordering planes because it's cheap. The deliveries for their planes are 2013-2016, so there is plenty of time for planning.
Plus, Delta is getting planes: MD-90s and cheaply.

Just out of curiousity, does the company prefer low ALVs or high? Seems to me when ALVs go high you have more on reserve flying 40 hours a month and getting paid 70, when ALVs are low then everyone is closer to 70ish. If we're short staffed then ALVs are high plus there are greenslips. So wouldn't ideal staffing from the company's standpoint be min ALV, correct reserves, no greenslips?
