Higher weights?? Great, now we won't have to bump all those pax (which the bus ALWAYS does, or so I've read).

The FAA CMO out of San Francisco seems to already be in the loop...
Now? There could BE more A319's for all I know but the A320-232's is what I heard and more than ONCE. And I'm particularly interested as I will be in the Group handling them on the TOMC Airbus desk. As Well as the A350.

Nice to hear; thanks for posting.

A -232 would have been great the other day on SEA-ORD. The 145.5 landing weight would have given us a little better alternate options than just RFD.

HA. You're right. Let's get them all out there...

Used Airbus 319s (320s?)
777-300s for 787s
Ex-Con 737-500s (this rumor still has wings apparently)
Houston 737 BUMP (not a rumor according to the IAH CPO)
DEN 76T BUMP (Closure?)

Any others? :D

It's going to be more like 51 and the 1000 pilots will come as a package. All from the land called FRONTIER.

Let me guess. You work for Republic.

FWIW all, Frontier's Aibii have CFM-56 engines. I doubt United's looking for CFM airbii.

Don't be so sure. Those are international airplanes that Frontier is flying where everyone has Captain seniority.
