Could mean 717's are staying.

bummer...still getting the 33 deliveries this year....maybe the 300's and 717's are here for a while....

Have to wonder if they realized Hawaii wasn't going to be such a good deal. I'm sure the 800's were for many different markets, but if they figured out they couldn't do PHX and LAS with those aircraft profitably that may have had something to do with digging in their heels.

Next up, new order for 787's.

You could be right. Might be playing hard ball with Boeing for not being more flexible with leases.

 

[Crash Pad]

2017 That number means something to me... When does the first 717 lease expire?

 

[XGmaninGA]

2017.

Didn't see that one coming, that should dampen the warrior spirit a bit.

Next up, new order for 787's.

You are kidding of course.
