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
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

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!

Yeah, you guys keep patting yourselves on the back for that.... but the truth is ALPA sold E175s out to UAX in exchange for 50 seat aircraft that were on their way out the door regardless.
The E175's should be at mainline, but ALPA thinks that kind of flying is beneath you.

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.
