There are other ways to do capacity cuts. Aircraft will start flying through each others' markets starting next month.
For example:
747-400 (403 seats) replaced by a 767 in Asia (217 to 285 seats)
757-ER back fills the 767
E175, 737, MD88, MD90 and DC9 Back Fill for 757's
CRJ, ERJ backfill for DC9 and MD88

all they need to do is open up the SIL program with various options as to what the pay/benefits will be. Every mil guy I know would be all over it, even without benefits. I know, don't give them any ideas, but it would seem if a large percentage of the union wanted this something could be done.

Today the market is up and the CFO gave many reasons for optimism in his briefing. Part of being a leader will be moving back into the market as demand returns.
The 747's are very expensive jets. In this market a 777 or 'Bus might make more sense.
Today they said they would be anxious to get the 787 if it was flying today. I actually agree with that statement, the airplane is the perfect size for right now (and the 767-300 with winglets is really close to that size but can't go nearly as far).
Deliveries coming:

- 6 777 2009
- 2 777 2010
- "handful" of regional jets

Your dead on about the gauge. IMO why the old NWA did better on the Asia rim than United did was we took the 757 out there to run "thin" routes and beach resorts. Then, the A330s for all but MSP and DTW to NRT. Off the top of my head, the only whale trip south is NRT & Nagoa to MNL (someone correct this). The transitions to other jets is taking place now, and we are waiting for 767s to come out now. IE, NRT to BNK is now a 757 vs an A330 so we need a 767 there for sure. So, we'll see......I like the way we think!
I know it is spring break and I was doing spring break places, but I was full full full every leg between MSP and Ft Myers, Tampa and Phoenix.
