Now we just need about 20 777-X's to fill out the 747 replacements. I still don't know if we will ever see the A350's.
Now, we could also probably get a very good deal on a dozen 747-8's for those few routes that size would work well. Maybe take 747-400's in trade. We usually give our old stuff to FedEx for a great deal, maybe they would want those. |
Bring on the 350!!!!

-300ER to answer the obvious shortcomings of the -200B to SYD. Look for A models in the Guam base for high density Asian flying (connecting to the west coast Guppys in Hawaii).

Yep. LAX/SFO - SYD = 4 frames
SFO/ORD - HKG = 4 frames +2 spares Perfect aircraft for those flights. |

would speculate we would use them on EWR HKG before SFO HKG, but maybe that would cover all 10

The only problem with EWR is rotation of aircraft in a small fleet. ORD needs the 300ER because the UA 200ER are restricted on some days where as the CO 200ER do pretty well (From what I'm told) on EWR - HKG. You could use the other two aircraft for EWR - HKG but that would leave no fleet flexibility 1 CX or long delay would cause a sever downline problem to the operation and the 100+ pax that can not fit on a 200ER.

Route the 100 + pax via NRT and connect them to onward destination via the ANA JV could be a risk they are willing to take?
2. Why would they do that to themselves..........I'm not holding my breath for a smart decision...... |
Will the fleets be combined by the time the first one gets here?:rolleyes:
