Another words, I will believe it when the eh are announced and on the tarmac….

Japan Airlines just announced the retirement of all 13 of their 777-300ER’s. One is already on its way to Roswell via Anchorage. They range from 2004-2009 models. Could this be what United is eyeing?

Having flown NCA birds that were maintained in Japan, it’s my belief that this JAL 77W birds ought to the the cleanest 77Ws out there.

To me it’s a no brainer to buy these aircraft. Replace some 777-200s and backfill lost seats on the 787 delivery. We aren’t getting the 777X because we won’t order it and it will be a miracle when Boeing actually certifies it. We also aren’t getting the A350-1000 so to me this seems like the cheapest option. I bet AA is looking at them too…

No US carrier will order the 777X until Boeing starts to discount the frame like they did to place end of the line 77Ws with United originally to bridge the 777 production gap to the 777X.

But I agree, I would be shocked if we didn’t jump on these birds.
