US Air orders 20 A350s...

[Propsync]

I'm so far a bystander in this it's not funny, but...

Wouldn't you think top management would focus more about squeezing every ounce of efficiency in a newly merged "largest low-cost full service air carrier in the US" company than go out an put in order for more planes, much less ANOTHER fleet type. I realize those airplanes won't be flying for a few years at least, but from the outside it looks like a lack of focus. I'm not on the inside, so please enlighten me.

History has shown that airlines are either shrinking or growing. Shrinking doesn't create profits; it merely stems losses. Growing is the only way to increase profits. Our credit line is relatively good right now so it makes sense to use it. Just MHO.

The good news is that it'll probablly be a common fleet type, so that should keep at least keep training costs down. Keep a look out for a possible EMB-190 order comming soon, now THERE is a totally different fleet.
