I would guess Quayle isn’t going to tip his hand until deliveries are assured.
supposedly 24 of the next 26 are being delivered with a high first class layout and low economy. So my guess is that they will replace the 767s in the same configuration and probably the 777s flying to high priced destinations (HND/LHR/ZRH/GVA/TLV/SIN)
then those planes will backfill be retired or fly somewhere new. The oldest 767s hit their HMVs next spring……that’s 20 frames.

For SFO 787 CAP for example we see that there are 155 pilots currently, and the min/max is at 182. Bingo 27 vacancies very straight forward.
There are 8 retirements scheduled from now until 1/30.
Do those 8 positions just get filled from a secondary vacancy? Or are those 8 positions covered by the 27 vacancies? Thus meaning there are only 19 “new” positions created.

May I ask a very dumb question:

787s take over the 3 SFO-LHR flights and both the SFO -SYD flights and the SFO - HND flights. Then those 777s go out to EWR/DCA and replace 767s then those 767s either get retired backfill a 757 or fly somewhere new.
there doesn’t have to be 767 flying in a certain base for 767 flying to be replaced by a 787.

The 350 on the other hand? I have heard rumors that mgmt is now saying they’ve waited out the Rolls Royce contract (that has kept us on the hook) so long, it has now become economically advantageous in the current environment.
