Who's parking what?

[Kugelblitz]

Just wanted to stay up to date on the latest info on those airlines that are parking aircraft, types, and numbers?

Substantiation not required..............

 

[Cardinal]

Frontier: Sold 2 A319s and 2 A318s.

I thought I heard UAL and DAL were making noises along the airplane parking theme as well. Anyone know anything? How about AA?

 

[Bavarian Chef]

JB selling 9 320s. Still taking 12 320s and I think, 12 190s.

 

[GogglesPisano]

Delta to ground and sell 15-20 mainline aircraft (mostly 88's.)

Still slated to receive approx 27 mainline jets through '09, many of which are 777's each requiring 32 pilots for proper staffing.

LOL! In keeping with FI tradition....

 

[Andy]

UAL parking 15-20 737-500s.

 

[Erndogg]

Anybody parking 717's???

 

[Superpilot92]

NWA is parking some DC9s but that was announced back in January. I guess it all depends on the mergers.

 

[superfly]

More to come

Predictions are that someone will park all there planes before year end if fuel keeps skyrocketing.

Why did I choose aviation again?

Heyas SP,

Sure, but the NB floor goes into effect April 6th. They can play with the numbers a smidge, but can only park 3 more than announced until they start parking BIG RJs.

The rumor floating around is that because the Compass fleet is capped (and may even be reduced), and they can't IPO or sell it (due to scope restrictions), the E-175s are going to be brought onto the mainline. It's just not worth running a whole airline with just 36 airplanes (or less).

When we do,we'll make sure you'll be the 1st one to know.

As far as the 190s...it's about 6 per yr right now and I think they increase later...all options are still there and hard deliveries...just delayed for a bit.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Yeah, this is the best business plan I've ever heard of. Park your money makers. These CEOs are rediculous.

Nu-
The narrow body floor part obviously is HUGE!

The "rumor" may be true, but I believe there's a greater chance the E-175's get rolled into Mesaba. I'm not a scope expert, but I don't think this would be prohibited by scope being they're both wholly owned. I would think the jets could be operated cheaper at Mesaba than at mainline. The company/unions would have a lot of fun merging those lists. Who knows what will happen.
