This has got c*** all to do with the future aircraft order re 787's/350-1000's/or a revamped 777.
These aircraft are coming in to the fleet because of the delay to the 787 but with oil prices as high as they are now, they are not going to be used for growth but for 1 on 1 replacement for the 747's.
If oil comes down below a $100 again then we might well see these aircraft as growth.
Hence recruitment is being frozen aswell and there will be some internal shuffling going on..
Rest assured with profits down 88%, we are hurting, hence the need for a more fuel efficient aircraft pronto!
