Does AMR even operate any Airbus types? It wouldn't seem to make sense to add an entirely new fleet with no commonality to anything they currently fly.

One thing to concider is that FedEx is in the market for a lot of 757s and Boeing isn't producing them anymore. I heard a rumor that FedEx was going to buy all of Americans 757s... who knows....

Cheers,
Scott
 
The lappings of line pilots hungry to snap-up any flying that comes down the pike....
it's Spirit. My buddy just confirmed.

It would with a merger with an airbus carrier (LCC?)...
 
Doesn't spirit already have an order for airbuses that they've deffered? This article quotes a new order.
 
While I admire the faith in Ual, it is just not gonna happen. You guys are being set up for a merger/parting out.

Sad, but true! But wait a minute! haven't we heard all year long that uncle tittie was going to place a replacement aircraft order by year end? The outstanding managment team at UAL is trying to manipulate the quadratic fundamental equivalent flux capacitor of the market fluctuation to determine the proper outcome suited to the misnomer of the situation. Isn't that what we have been hearing all year? 25 more days and we will find out!
 
Wouldn't you as a nortwest...I mean delta pilot just LOVE that.... merry christmas to you punk

I am don't think it is employer specific. UAL and CAL would have married a long time ago if not for dems in the house.
A SWA or Fedex guy can have the same opinion.
 
Have heard rumblings of AMR perhaps having discussions with Airbus recently. The thought process was to acquire A321 to replace some of the 75's.


That would be a hugh mistake . 321 can't carry the weight the distance the 757 can.


PHXFLYR:cool:
 
Usair Express/ Piedmont....
The little wholly boned, er, ahh, I mean owned by mainline is finally
replacing the Dash 8's with jets!
(Way to go Farrow!)
