United to Buy Boeing, Airbus Jets

[eaglesview]

Well, the 787 replaces the 767 and the A350 replaces the 777. They operated both of those planes, so there is room for the 787 and the A350.

Actually our company communication is they will replace the 747 and the 767. The stated reason for the two types is in their words neither aircraft alone could fill all of their intended missions.

And the A350 will be an easy transition for the Aer Lingus crews.

Watch for later deferments of the delivery dates just as USAirways did.

Delivery dates of 2016-19. That obviously is a way off. Oh does that mean the contract will not be settled until then....Just curious

Thank you, Marvin.

I have lots of free time these days for BS since UA parked the guppies.

Great.

Now in the CAL/UAL merger CAL's arbitration "expectations" have gone from at least even to less than Florida Keys International Express Airlines, dba North Cuba Commuter NDB Airways, formerly associated with Panamanian Charter Ferry Gunboat Service (Rapid Route Direct). Now THAT was a good contract! Snake repellant and mosquito netting. Geez, what was the company thinking? A better Band of Brothers I've never seen.

These are REPLACEMENT aircraft, NOT growth aircraft. We are getting GROWTH aircraft at CAL. Why are you so quick to shout the sky is falling?

Hmmmm.....New airplane order just before contract negotiations....Nice.

Sounds like Stpehen Wolf....."more airplanes than God can count."
