Good luck guys.

Allegedly a mix of up gauge and RJ replacement (300) as well as replacement aircraft. Lie flat MAX 10 (50?} and 321 XLR (50) to replace 757s, 787s to replace 767s and early 777 (72). Of the 787 order, 53 will be up gauging to jets on the highest pay scale
Napkin math puts just under 200 narrow body for and 28 widebody for pure growth, beyond bringing RJ flying in house, not including 787 options or A350.
