I realise that we are getting lots of aircraft. I built that into my model on time to command. We need to have 131 at the end of 2009 and 148 at the end of 2011 to keep command time to 12-13 years from the current 9 years.

I think we are getting some of those 777s in 2010 and 2011. As soon as we order another 19 aircraft(since we are giving back the A346s) for delivery by end of 2011 we will maintain the mid growth model.

FYI, I have estimated time to command at 12-13 years. So at the end of 2019-2020 we will have 243-258 aircraft in order to achieve command at that time....we had 102 at the end of 2006!
