Yeah and I can't believe all the airlines in the world are dumping the -400, it's such an awesome money maker...why would they do that?

Why don't you ask Staller/CarolDangerous? He/She is a genius and we could all learn from him/her.

There will always be a certain market for a 4 engine Ultra Long Haul aircraft.
I was hoping that we (the New United) would order a dozen of the new -8's once this merger got moving. Hell, it's the biggest Boeing that there is, we are close to Boeing and what better than to have their Biggest being flown by our (US of A) biggest Airline.
Of course, we are no longer the biggest, and we don't have vision looking forward~

Maybe with new management will come a team that evaluates aircraft and routes and is able to see where a plane like the 747 (400 or -8) makes sense.
Till then, business as usual. Cancelled flights, pax and/or cargo left behind, dissatisfied passengers when compared to our competitors.

Motch

PS> To make money, you have to invest money. Either invest it in updating the aircraft we have, or buy new aircraft~

Is that a no confidence vote for Jeff?

Jeff is one of the equities CAL brought to the merger. I wonder why they didn't bring that up during the ISL hearings?

How much of a negative adjustment gets to be made for forcing him on us?

That rumor is bunk, according to the instructors a SC's at TK.

Other rumors from DENTK

A 777 base in HNL. A 777 or possibly other A/C type TDY base NRT, for tag flying due to new FAR rest requirements. 747-8 are being considered. 777/787 to become common fleet with a 5 day transition course, time frame dependent on outcome ISL.

I don't think it matters who is at the helm. They don't like or respect anyone. So angry, so arrogant, so asinine.

How about some 777-300ER. CX does fine with them from
ORD to HKG. They will probably do a double daily in the future. Pick up the slack.

This shows your ignorance or arrogance. Did I have a choice to merge and even pick my CEO? Did you? You really need to stop with all the hate mongering you do. Your starting to make Staller or Carlos look like they know what they are talking about.

The 777-300ER is great for people, but to carry people AND cargo...747-800 is a much better option. Of course...there is NO money in cargo.
