April 2011 Fleet Plan
 

According to the company fleet plan, the UAL side is parking one 747 in the first quarter and 1 747 in the 4th quarter. On the CAL side, we are adding 3 739's total in the first three quarters for a whopping net gain of 1 aircraft, 711 total combined in 2011. The plan does not "yet?" show the parking or loss of the 2 767-200 aircraft.

Dont be so naive. They will park many more than that and will take on more rjs than what they said.

Question....."Shell-Game"??

Are the 3 NG's they are adding in 2011 being accelerated/"borrowed" from the lot of 19 that are slotted to arrive in 2012??

Or is it 3 THIS year, plus the entire 19 next year as mentioned below??

Bueller??

SEATTLE, April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE:BA - News) today celebrated the delivery of the first Next-Generation 737-900ER (extended range) with the Boeing Sky Interior to United Continental Holdings, Inc. subsidiary Continental Airlines. The carrier is the first U.S. airline to operate the 737-800 and 737-900ER featuring the all-new interior.
Boeing also announced that Continental converted existing 2012 orders for Next-Generation 737s to 737-900ERs and will now be taking 19 737-900ERs in 2012.

PArk the 737/500's and the aging 757/200's. After those plus the "new" planes what will that net?

And don't forget the 767-200's

Replacing 2 747's with 3 739's? Wow. That -900 must be some magic airplane!

I'm just asking, not trying to throw darts, but are the "aging 757-200" older UAL planes or the mid 90s era CAL planes?

Just trying to see what DAL might do in that situation.

Dal is parking 30-40 dc9's and getting 50-60 md80's. For a positive net #

In the eyes of the bean counters it is. For those of us on the line AHHH we get overs stopping in MCI for gas on an eastbound transcon from SAN...

I think you meant MD-90's. ;)
