777-300ER order
 
This is welcome news if true. Even if they are replacement aircraft.

Mainline Growth. Finally some good news. Where it flies from will be telling....

Well there are 10 777 A models in a three class configuration that could be parked. The other 9 777 A models are in a two class Hawaii cattle car configuration.

Not to sure about ALL replacement. I think it may be some growth if plans go forward. However, this is why the 747 will never go to 2025. There is still a NB need that we are looking for.

Oil price a factor in the equation?

Nope. Oil will go back up in the next few years.

Interesting......

Let me quantify, our headshed thinks that it will eventually go up. This price correction will not last for the next 2 plus years. If I could accurately predict this I would be very wealthy and not here.

-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.
