This could be good news for our furloughs. Hopefully we will see them all back in Spring 2010.

Continental sees fuller jets, 2010 capacity growth

By Christopher Hinton CAL



NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Continental Airlines (CAL 15.72, -0.20, -1.26%) said Wednesday it expects to increase its year-over-year total seat capacity by 1.5% to 2.5% in 2010, driven by its international routes. Mainline capacity is set to grow by 2% to 3%, the carrier said, with its domestic capacity flat. International mainline capacity is set to grow by 5% to 6%. For the fourth quarter, Continental forecast fuller planes, with both mainline and consolidated load factors increasing by about 2.9 points versus last year. Fourth-quarter mainline capacity is expected to come down by 0.7%, and 0.8% on a consolidated basis. Continental said it expects to end 2009 with $2.4 billion in cash. Shares of Continental slipped less than 1% to $15.79.

Yep, that's because there will be more Colgan Dash 8-400s to cover any domestic flying increases... nice.

Bingo!!! More 'happy' high yield biz passengers getting fed into hubs by an unreliable POS bottom feeder!
 
2 777
4 757 300
7 737 NGs (800 or 900 or 900ER?)

This is off the top of my head, but I think the info is correct. But I know the 737-300s will all be gone in January. ... Still a capacity increase.
 
Yeah, not bad. Hopefully all the furloughs (hostages) will be back this spring.

by then oil will be at $147 a barrel and we (the bottom 500) will get the same letter we got in aug 07, and then again in aug 08.


I got you babe.


Ok so I am getting bitter.
