The buses will be kept until the leases are up, and then they are spoken for as other airlines have already laid claim to them.

 

That answers that! Thanks!

 

Nothing's spoken for until it's parked on the ramp. United was taking 19 or 20 of our 319's, it was a "done deal". However, here we are, and they just became ours permanently.

Nobody knows where airplanes are going, least of all, pilots.

 

Yes, it could all change. Setting aside the fact that anything CAN happen....other airlines already have first dibs on them.

Christ.....You guys are way too bored.
It will happen...
We just dont know what "It" is, or when it will happen.

 

It already happened.

It was WiFi.

Move along...

 

True story! The whole production was on the brink of ending abruptly. Bombardier was all over the media saying it was about to go bankrupt since Rah backed out and didn't have the scratch the rev promised they would. Go back and watch the videos of the C-Series unveiling in Indy. Then read the articles that followed. These guys at Delta are fn Jedis with money. It was very interesting how it all unfolded. Delta, like Emirates w 380 came in after they manufactures said, "we are shutting the line down if we cannot get orders." Lifeline Tossed! This reminded me..I haven't heard much about the MRJ or that Russian thing that flew into a mountain in a while. Gonna go check it out.. Also, congrats to you guys, and your new CBA. News of expansion and growth at every level above the regionals is wonderful. Finally got out after a decade myself. And thank you again for the ride out of Bee Wii few months ago. Was one of the most pleasant jumpseat rides I've ever had.

 

Is this a non-issue or do people still think another airplane order is likely/possible for growth?

 

Well, if you listen to the know it all chest thumpers, we have "hired our last captain!"
They also said that a few years ago...
We are still upgrading captains!
So, I bet there will be an order.
Maybe not now, maybe not fall, but there will be. As long as the uppers can find a place to make money with them, they will keep increasing the route structure.
