JB's Business Update - Fleet Planning
How did you all read JB's business update regarding fleet planning? He says we still plan on taking delivery of 29 aircraft by the end of FY25 (6 777s and 23 767s). But in the same paragraph, states that we will be parking an "additional" 29 aircraft by the end of 2024. Is this old news (i.e. planned retirement of MD-11s?). So essentially a 1 for 1 replacement for the MDs as they sunset. Or, are these 29 aircraft in addition to the MD11 retirements?

I’m willing to give the company flexibility to wet lease when needed, but the language in our CBA is big enough to DRIVE an Atlas 747 through it.

Guys like you who the whole way leading up to the TA were hoping the NC would deliver. But now that you've seen the Sales Show you realize how without improvements and strengthening (vs. the concessions in the TA) of Section 1 SCOPE, the rest of the contract is meaningless. This TA even gives away our ability to just ask the company about who is now moving our freight.
Thank you for showing the decency to acknowledge what this TA would do to those pilots not retiring in the next year or two.
