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

The Hold-up as I heard it were the A.D notes and Mods to communize them with our own airplanes. These -232's have a lightly higher Max ZFW and Max Landing weight than our-231's and the ACARS, GPWS mode 5-7 with TAWS has yet to be installed.
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?

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.
