Singapore is not renewing their leases, so that is not completely unfounded. Everyone knows how much we love cheap used unicorns!

They don't even know. And accurate is not the word I'd use. 757s seems to disappear and reappear every 6 months. 737 orders are cancelled, then they're not. E190s are the future NB replacement then, oops. The C-series still needs another real order to be viable. 787s still on the books. Used 777s abound for cheap, what ever happened to that one?

Doubt it. That thing is a POS jobs program and not a serious airplane. Its applications for us would be severely limited. A cheap lease deal would only go so far to justify something so otherwise out of the realm like that. I'm not seeing it at any price.

And its only a carrot if we have both ESK and BH protections within each JV.

I really don't see that plane here, but if we did it would probably be for AMS/CDG/LHR feeding, which would spank us hard in that JV. Maybe they'll threaten us with them and we'll have to "pony up" to get them not to get them

ATL-MCO baby!!! Just like the old days! Cheapest seat-cost/air-mile right? Especially if they were almost free. And we own our own refinery! What else could go wrong?

If 777's are "not a good fit for Delta" the A380's would be really "not a good fit for Delta."

Where are you getting this info? I haven't heard/read anything suggesting the 330-900 will not be built.

It would be awesome for the 50 guys in the category because we are stupid enough to pay it $500/hour.
