Who's parking what?

[NuGuy]

NWA is parking some DC9s but that was announced back in January. I guess it all depends on the mergers.

Heyas SP,

Sure, but the NB floor goes into effect April 6th. They can play with the numbers a smidge, but can only park 3 more than announced until they start parking BIG RJs.

The rumor floating around is that because the Compass fleet is capped (and may even be reduced), and they can't IPO or sell it (due to scope restrictions), the E-175s are going to be brought onto the mainline. It's just not worth running a whole airline with just 36 airplanes (or less).

Anybody parking 717's???

When we do,we'll make sure you'll be the 1st one to know.

JB selling 9 320s. Still taking 12 320s and I think, 12 190s.

As far as the 190s...it's about 6 per yr right now and I think they increase later...all options are still there and hard deliveries...just delayed for a bit.

Yeah, this is the best business plan I've ever heard of. Park your money makers. These CEOs are rediculous.

The narrow body floor part obviously is HUGE!

The "rumor" may be true, but I believe there's a greater chance the E-175's get rolled into Mesaba. I'm not a scope expert, but I don't think this would be prohibited by scope being they're both wholly owned. I would think the jets could be operated cheaper at Mesaba than at mainline. The company/unions would have a lot of fun merging those lists. Who knows what will happen.

Heyas Schwank,

The scope limits Mesaba to 36. They can't transfer them willy nilly to get around it, but I suppose they can always try.

When NWA merges they will renegotiate scope and the senior guys will throw the junior guys under the plane.

If the senior guys could get their way, you'd likely be right!

If it wasn't for AWA, USAirways would've parked the remaining 266 jets at Mojave along with the 140 or so that were already there on Oct 1, 2005!

You're Welcome!!
