The article says more, but he quotes this analyst- Airline analyst Bob McAdoo of Avondale Partners- :
"We believe the B717s will eventually fly for Delta. Southwest wants to keep a single fleet type and, as indicated in this article, and will be pulling flights from smaller cities. Delta just ordered 100 larger B737-900 aircraft of its indicated 200 aircraft requirement. "We believe the 86 B717s at AirTran, currently on lease from Boeing, will be traded in to Boeing for more Southwest B737's. Expect Boeing to then lease or sell the B717s to Delta, perhaps as a second, but yet unannounced, part of the recent B737 order from Delta to Boeing. "This would be consistent with DAL's plan to limit capital expenditures while opportunistically upgrading the Delta fleet. It would also explain why DAL did not announce orders for smaller aircraft to satisfy part of its 200 aircraft total need. "This decision by Southwest and our assumed moves by Delta would both seem be in the best interests of these two airlines." |

Well, we had 16 MD90's and we will be up to 58 MD90's soon. We parked the 30/40's so once the -50's are parked that's 68 airplanes parked. But we gained 42 MD90's and if we received the 717's I think we are in a positive staffing situation.
minus 3 737-800 That's all 737-700s... flat at best. I guess the A319 will be the go-to hot and high niche market airframe, no need for both... Cheers George |

Are you sure that wasn't the price, exclusive of the engine purchase?
Dal paid right around $40M/jet for the 737-900ER, give or take some change... (don't forget Boeing owes money for the 787 delay...) Those prices are all in, with engines. The engine deal would have been broken out in the 8-K, or a separate 8-K, there is no such document. Cheers George |

DAL DC-9 -> Valuejet -> Airtran Airtran orders MD95 -> 717 Airtran -> Southwest, 717 -> DAL The circle of life is complete.... Cheers George |
Kind of felt like fall past two mornings....that mean we got an AE coming?
Hoping for some movement; any positive movement. |

Not sure what you're asking.

I think it is something like $30M/jet, $10M for a set of engines or something real close to that. I do think you are correct with the $40M all in price. |
Ae
Ok wish I could say I knew that was coming. There's an AE out. Nothing big.
Eerie timing. :eek: |

Eerie timing. :eek: Vacancies: ATL330A- 6 ATL330B- 5 DTW330A- 12 DTW330B- 5 SEA330A- 12 SEA330B- 5 Surpluses- ATL777A- 15 ATL777B-15 Should cause some good cascading in the right direction overall. Not sure how the 777 surplus will hit ATL though. |
For Real??? There IS an A/E out? Any word/movement on the DC-9?
