Your guess is as good as mine. I'd be willing to bet the options we exercised are growth. I'd also be willing to bet we delay some retirements so we could have options in case things don't go as planned and then we do a little more fleet renewal instead. Again, just a guess.

Yes but the early JAs and VPFs before summer really is in full effect seems high. Also, I'm a 5 year guy who just got a military charter award...something that usually only goes to the senior most players this early in the month when we're all under the cap.

I see that. I remember on SWAlife they had an actual planned schedule. At one time it was fairly precise by tail number when each airframe was coming and going.

A small correction, but important. 30-35 700s annually, on average, for the next 10-15 years. That doesn't mean 30-35 every year. This being my 6th airline, I don't drink a whole lot of kool-aid, but technically speaking, that does not require them to retire a single airplane next year, or the year after, etc. I will be surprised if they retire any significant number of airplanes next year, especially given what GK and the likes have been saying.

From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
WRT to the -700s, we have what? 450+? Isn’t their average age about 15 years? So if we figure a 20-25 year life cycle then we’ve got 450 -700s that need to be retired in the next 5-10 years. That’s a lot quicker retirement schedule than 30-35 annually.
I just can’t see any of them being around for more than 10 years. My gut feeling is that there will be more MAXes ordered fo accelerate their retirement. Also, let’s not forget the other kicker…..the inevitable acquisition of another airline. Most likely in my humble opinion another airline with a lot of newer Airbuses and a fat order book for even more of them.
