Meanwhile, big busses arrive next year and continueing for the next 3-4 years.
If you are talking about the 3 leased A-330s, then yes it seems like they will arrive, however continuing for the next 3-4 years...well, put it this way, if Flight International's Census of the Skys edition (19-25th of Aug.) is to be believed, then GF's only 'new' orders are for three 'Buslets', as you put it. Sorry, they have also ordered 16 787s but they are way down the airway, certainly more than 3-4 DME I'd say. But then again, it was in the GDN so it must be true (big Airbus order etc.) Airbus takes cash mate, not talk.
Here's my take, 2 leased A-319s arriving pretty soon, EO, EP, ER will have to be put out of their misery (shot perhaps or put out to pasture) which leaves us with one new 320 arriving this year....result, fleet size = the same + two more of RJ's finest. I'm probably wong, but it sure looks that way.
Fruit for thought perhaps...
