Where does mol park his "spare" planes up? do they go to the desert?
there are no planes parked up, the fleet is working to capacity, PKB is talking through his hole.
FR has by my quick maths around 3000 pilots (250ish airframes times 6 crews).
4 crews per aircraft.
As for orders for 787
usual company spin introduced when the possibility of large movement afoot. If and it's a pretty damn big "if" ryr goes for large jets it will 777 and there will be loads of them parked soon enough with the 787 starting full production soon enough.
