AirTran cuts growth

[curtis46]

If i'm not mistaken,they will return A/C# 300 and 301 which are due for heavy check.
As far as the # of A/C we will take delivery,well those predictions will change as the industry and the economy change.we can give them credit to adapt quickly one way or the other.

Fam... I would be suprised to see 8-10 year upgrades at AAI. Besides, this industry has a way of flip flopping overnight. If fuel drops overnight or if DAL merges with someone, you can bet AAI will be there to pick up the slack.... We can always dream.

That reminds me of a furloughed Indy Air FO I flew with telling me waaaay back in the day in "Ought Four"...."When United goes out (Read: Bankrupt)...We're gonna OWN Dulles!"

and YES he WAS serious......but way off.......nobody knows what's gonna happen!!!

Maybe Gary Kelly told them he didn't want that many aircraft since he was going to have his hands full with the buyout as it is.

If everyone who posts on FI had to retract inaccurate statements, this board would shut down.

If you have 2 airplanes and add 2 more that's 100% growth isn't it?

It sounds like Allegiant isn't growing by airplanes. It sounds like they are going to utilize their fleet more.The artical says departure growth.
But I could be wrong.

Just departure growth, or arrival growth too?
Just departure growth is somewhat grim.

Just departure growth is somewhat grim.

Why....? Seem like more of a miracle than grim and a cheap way to get aircraft.
