I think the plan is to keep some of the buses there with SIBA for a while. The 75 will mostly be used for smaller markets and opening new ones. But what do I know, I'm just a line pilot

Thoughts on when we might see a bid for 757 Cologne? I would guess that we won't try to negotiate a new LOA rather just wrap the whole thing into contract negotiations? Any ideas, rumors or gouge?

I think you'd want to negotiate outside of the contract negotiations so that there is no quid pro quo on the LOA!

We have been told here in MX in EMEA that the 757 will replace the A310-200/300's currently in Europe, so we will have a mix of 757/A300 flying. There are two 757 systems classes for MX in CDG this month (one just finished and another starting tomorrow, plus two in September, possibly in BUD & CGN.
