ER and 400 are staying until 2030+.

ER was supposed to retire this decade during Covid plans, they’ve backtracked on that. But even during darkest days of Covid they said 400 will fly beyond 2030.

I assume down the road we will start ordering more 330’s and the actual retirement timeline of ER will be revealed more. Similar to what United did when they placed the big 787 order. Not that ours will be a big order, but maybe some clarity.

Agreed. Our replacements will be in batches. We seem to shy away from splashy mega orders. It’ll be a few 330s here and there.

Two universal truths in the airline world.
1) An airplane is here... until it isn't.
2) An airplane isn't here... until it is.
If you discount either of those truths, you are placing a bet with zero information.

There is also a corollary regarding pilots bases.

That, and one can never judge whether he or she had a good airline career, and made the right choices, until they see the day they retire.

This is an absolute fact, especially the older you get.

Company is doing a nice job screwing up WB with high numbers of 6 and 7 day trips that fly through other bases.
