These are for growth. The Airbii should be staying for a while.

Yeah, sure. We will see if the business travel truly recovers or not. We aren’t Spirit.

The inbound 321XLRs are the replacement for the 757s used internationally... VP fleet planning told us at charm school 756 fleet is going to be around for awhile (767-300 and 757s). Already announced old 757-200 retirements already offset by the max deliveries we have coming this year. Future of 767-400 fleet is the big question... replaced by more 787/777s.?

That is true, Spirt we are not. They must know something or at least think they know something. Either conversations they are having with corporate clients are positive or they think fuel is gonna skyrocket and want to capitalize on the lower fuel burn of the LEAP engines. If it’s the later look for something to get put out to pasture.
