Only 15 L-UAL 757s will be left when it is all said and done. It is cheaper to scrap them vice refurbish. Also, 739s are cheaper in the eyes of the beholder to operate them than the old 757s in our current and planned markets.
How is that working on the flights to OGG and LIH? |

I see a change in equipment bidding strategy happening soon. I will hate to be the poor sucker stuck at the bottom on reserve for years to come just for the glory of a fourth stripe. The B757 is fairly senior through out the sUAL system on both seats, these guys will have to bump somewhere.

I think the 739 might be working better than the 753!

Are the 757-300s ETOPS? I just read something that said some # of them are undergoing modifications that will make them ETOPS.

Looks like a lot of folks will be exercising displacement rights in the next two years.
Too bad the -900 can't carry full people and cargo like the 757. At book rates, it will take 45 years to make saving $2 million per year worthwhile (Boeing lists the 737-900 at around $80 million). |

With 74 777's and 23 747's on the property now (you're welcome), what kind of masochist would want to spend his/her career as a 4 stripe 737 reserve whipping boy? Quality of life is where it's at baby! Right seat on a jumbo is way more 'desirable' than 737 captain any day! :D

It will be interesting to see the CAL guys bailing from 737 Capt on to 777 FO on the west coast. |
