31 deliveries in next 3 years. 22 by end of 2024. Lol…
Agreed. Also no 330 orders currently on the table after 2025, I think 763s probably start leaving after that, so ripe for another WB order for that period?

Yeah. Still plenty of time to have an order with deliveries for 2025+. I imagine at some point we will start getting more 330’s to replace 763’s as the decade moves on.

So much has to go right…no mergers, airline stays in business, robots don’t take your job, world war, hyper loop, not to mention by far the most possible derailment - your health.

I agree it’s fun to look though.

More importantly than what you finish at though, is how long you remain in a top percentage.
Preach it, brotha, I remember 25 year old TWA captains......Who?

Agreed!

We currently have 62 A330s on property and the current staffing is roughly…
CAs - 567
FOs - 1,079

That means we have 9 Captains for each plane and 17 FOs. If those numbers stand correct, we will need an additional 144 CAs (711 total) and 264 FOs (1,343) for the additional 17 -900s coming (79 total). I’m assuming they will be spread out over all the current 330 bases with an additional base opening in SLC. Maybe deploy a few extra openings in SEA as China picks up. NYC will alway see love with new planes so they’ll have a good amount of openings. When the 7ERs start to retire, I see us needing a very large widebody order. The math doesn’t make sense to me unless we cut a majority of our current ER routes which won’t happen.

So 787’s in 2025 is what you’re saying…

I looked at the 787 cockpit, and I looked at the 330neo. I know what one I want to cross an ocean in.

I will take the 78’s humidified cabin over a tray table any day. That actually makes a pretty big difference for fatigue according to my friends who have flown both.

Well, I think the humidifier system is now optional so... we know how that's gonna work.

Who else can have a NH as a 757/767 CA awarded? The way he talked it seems it was a DAL.
