Show of hands.

Who thinks it will stop at 19...or 20. Does 20 EMB 190s as a stand alone fleet make sense?

They are common type with E170, E175, E195, and all the new E2 models of the same aircraft.

20 aircraft would make it our third smallest fleet and probably doesn't make sense, but we have other small fleets.

747 - Shrinking every fall
777 - 18 (for now) with two FO and three CA bases
190 - 19
767-400 - 21 and stagnent with two bases

Could be a temporary solution to have 717s md88 and 190s that could all be replaced by a big c series order of both c series models.
An order of used c series in 20 years I meant

Hiring, upgrading and training pilots to support the network – including the delivery of 60 additional mainline aircraft in 2016 (4 A330-300s; 15 A321s; 19 737-900ERs; 3 717s; 19 E190s)



Soooo not 20...


The 20th could be coming in early 2017 perhaps?

That's probably more correct than we know.

Money there are used 777 airframes in the wings. Perhaps to provide another gun to the head moment of 'vote YES for this or we will shoot this puppy'....

At the other end of the fleet, i dont think mgmt has figured it out yet.

65% of us will line up to shoot the puppy for them.
