JetBlue question.

[Smarta$$]

Anyone know or remember how many total aircraft JB had in 2006 and 2007?

Thanks

 

[Smarta$$]

Answered my own question.

Jan 2006 = 92 total aircraft.

Jan 2007 = 119 total aircraft.

Jan 2008 = 134 total aircraft.

Today = 167 +-

Not bad, think we will have over 200 a/c by 2015?

Depends on lease returns and the economy. I would say probably, but we'll see.

In 2015 the number will be closer to 600 airplanes - if you count AA's aircraft....

if AA is lucky. maybe the airlines will let it fold and capitalize and the massive sucking sound left behind

Wow, I have yet to read a single witty or intelligent thing from you. Ever. Your last post is no exception.

AA Doesn't even have the money to pay attention, let alone buy another carrier. JB even has a larger market cap than AA.

"IF" that happened... "IF"

It would roll out something like US AW. AA declares Ch11 and in order to restructure JB buys a majority stake and APA feels entitled to staple Jb pilots to the bottom. It will cause another cancer of the airline pilot "dream". Yet some how the companies and stockholders will make $$$.

Here lies the difference: The JB pilots will have $2million to play thats not fair with the APA in court. I wonder how much the APA is willing to pony up to make sure not one JB pilots gets a seniority # ahead of one of their own? Any one? I'd bet 10-20x that. So to make it a smooth transition managment will negotiate a "fair" intagration and we'll take it because here at blue jet managment has your best interest in mind.

My crystal ball told me.

When Jetblue merges, just who is going to manage that 2 million. The PVC? 2 million gets eaten up pretty fast. Good luck.

 

[rjpilot7667]

Gotta love the paranoia.

 

[$$$4nothin]

American is losing millions of dollars a day. Losing hundreds of pilots a month. Canceling large percentages of there route structure. When AA merges it won't be hostile in any way and they are going to be thrilled to be getting an infusion of money, pilots, and route structure. Whatever pilot group merges with AA will not get to bad of deal. Union or no union. 2 million or 40 million

 

[RiddleEagle18]

Another 129 retired at AA today. I wonder how many of our TWA/AA guys will take the recall? Anyone on here taking it?

 

[BentOver]

Wow!!! That's well over 200 in the last 2 months!!!! Pretty amazing..
Any idea how long the retirements amy keep up?? The 1st of every month could get really really interesting...........

As per the charter and PPA you get none of that 2 million dollars until you exhaust your own resources. The 2 million dollars is for reimbursement only.
For some odd reason Jetblue keeps telling us that money will be immediately available should we be acquired but the 5 documents tell a different story.

Supposedly there will be a "Corporate Transactions" permanent working committee. I'd like to see an account established and the money in it now rather than after the turmoil starts.

I don't see anything about using your own resources first in the docs. Maybe I have an old version. In any case, the docs need to be firmed up before I vote for them.

AA has 12 Billion in Debt, why would B6 want anything to do with that? B6 has almost 4 Billion in Debt to deal with all on it's own. I don't see a merger between the two airlines at this point. The numbers just don't make sense. I would think SWA would benefit most by aquiring B6. The assets in JFK, BOS, and the SJU would give SWA instant access to those markets as well as slots in LGA, DCA, and LGB. That coupled with the Tranny purchase giving them access to ATL would make for a very tough competitor. AA is not going to happen in my opinion. SWA is the big player in the domestic market at this time.

I agree. Once the AAI merger is complete SWA will be look at Jetblue again......yes again. The BOD decided in the vote that Atlanta was a bigger prize than NY the last time around. Guess that puts Jetblue in the batters box next time.

Those 737s arent getting any younger either.. Switch to all Airbus would make sense

 

[BeachBummer]

Aren't they getting 737-800's?
