Certainly the media is doing all it can to relay the administrations message coherently, right?

Greenland, Venezuela, and Iran are just the Radom rantings of a demented person I'm sure.

WIsh we could all, Iran included, just get some straight messaging so we could plan for what is next. Kinda ridiculous and rude to the IRGC if you ask me.

No doubt you’re 100% right. We should keep Canada guessing too and making the remainder of NATO wonder if they need to station a few troops on Greenland no? Fling a few more tariffs out there just to keep it fun and sporty for American small businesses. sarcasm if not obvious. I just hope people can think for themselves and not parrot whatever literally just got tweeted like it’s cohesive, considered and grounded policy.

Totally. All foreign policy should get cleared through the great Canadian government - our closest ally. Nothing cohesive at all about controlling the main maritime passages world wide and using them to drive concessions. He’s just a fascist dictator on an unhinged rant. Glad we have solons like you to keep us grounded in perspective.

How many 787s will we get this year? From what I’ve been hearing the number keeps going down?

Its Boeing, take whatever they said and reduce it by 2/3.

However long they say something will take, it’ll be at least 5x longer.

Congrats on the deliveries you guys. Meant in all sincerity.

I was looking, might have missed it, are these replacements for the 777 or both growth and replacements? Are you guys going to be an all 78 widebody fleet in the not too distant future?

The 350 is nice, the 1000s we are getting are really good and very capable (moreso than the -900), but I wish we hadn't had that tiff with BA a few years ago and had gotten 78s instead. We've just ordered some, but those are a ways out as you know. Everything comes full circle I guess.

Again congrats on the shiny new toys

right now they are growth. The 787s we are receiving this year have a huge Polaris cabin so there is quite litterally nothing in our fleet like it to replace.

In a year or 2 the 767s will start to go and then the 777s. All signs point right now to an all 787 WB fleet with a 20 plane sub fleet of 777-300

The 757-200s will be the first to go from what I’ve been hearing not the 767s, but who knows things change here on a daily basis.
