I read that, for the -30s that are leaving this year. That is leaving you with 68 DC9s that have no replacement yet, and 742s that will go away too. All of our older planes are pretty much gone, and we have hired now thanks to INTL growth only. You are hiring for INTL growth now too, but have planes waiting to be parked thanks to $100 a barrel oil. I hope you are right.....

As of right now those planes are supposedly being parked because of their cycles and not fuel. Also NWA does have aircraft orders and thats 18 787's which they will exercise the options on the other 50 making 68 of the most efficient aircraft that have ever been made. Sure some of the 200s will get parked and maybe the 400s will get converted to freighters who knows. This is the airline business you know better than to think long term, right?
