They say they want 12?
So that means they will order 12 and Buy 6. I hope they get 30. I hoped they would get 50 787’s🤨
The offer is good enough to find happy people to do that type of flying at that price. Crewing it 1+2+1 is also a nice little win. (2+2 would have been nicer)
As with all other fleets current & past the 380 & 330 will be around until the last possible day they can park them. History does not favour an early retirement of these A/C. Traffic across the pacific is not getting weaker in the long term even with a direct NY service. Anyone tried to staff travel to/from LA lately?
Natural attrition (ie turning 65) will be how they get crews off the Legacy conditions. Some RIN’s, maybe? Probably? No one will be RIN’d to the 350 that doesn’t want the slot. They can all do displace or bid elsewhere. (It’s not a junior A/C!)
Sure would be nice to have a $400K pa job to be RIN’d to!😉
I think people are getting their Knickers all twisted in a knot unnecessarily. Just keep working the 350 deal and vote how you see fit.
As for the rest of LH. It’s a vanilla eba.
