Hallelujah! Fleet Growth!!
I know not all folks have had the same career path, but for me and many others like me there has been no growth for more than a decade so this is a welcome change. Drum roll please . . .
United Airlines announces 2015 Fleet Plan Year end 2014 = 691 planes Year end 2015 = 712 planes Growth = 21 planes or 3% Can I get an "Amen!" I know you'll believe it when you see it but that's ok 'cuz nothing can make me stop smiling right now :D Here's the breakdown by fleet: B747 = 23 to 21 or (2) B777 = 74 to 74 or 0 B787 = 14 to 25 or 11 B767 = 51 to 51 or 0 B757 = 94 to 81 or (13) B737 = 283 to 308 or 25 A320 = 152 to 152 or 0 Total = 691 to 721 = 21 And just for a little icing on the cake, UAL Express Fleet plan Total = 566 to 503 = again drum roll please -63 RJS!!!!! |

That is interesting. We are still losing 757's. I had thought they were keeping the rest. Also, parking crj700's and q400's! Both somewhat new a/c, mgt. Must really like the emb175!! They are probably salivating at getting the 195 at express. I am sure there is a team staying up late thinking of ways to screw us out of that flying. Good to see more for me and you!

195's are the buffer between parking 319's/700's or not. How much do we value our career?

The E175's should be at mainline, but ALPA thinks that kind of flying is beneath you. |

Yeah, you guys keep patting yourselves on the back for that.... but the truth is DALPA sold E175s out to DCI in exchange for 50 seat aircraft that were on their way out the door regardless.

Interesting, and positive: they are keeping ALL the 767-300s. I had heard a low number of 14, and high of 32. By my math, I think it is 35: they show 51 total, and I think there are 16 767-400s.
