Is Boeing or Airbus willing to assume the leases in return for orders?

4 whales are owned, 12 are leased.

Don't know about Boeing, but Airbus? Absolutely.

That explains a lot. Are they the four we're parking?

6307, 6308, 6310, and 6315 are owned. I'm not sure if they've announced specifically which ones are being parked, but I'll bet it's them.

It all makes sense in light of a Hawaiian merger. I wonder how quickly they can ferry the 717's back to the mainland and close the HNL base?

Is anyone going to the C44 meeting tomorrow? Is anyone going willing to present 2 resolutions that I've authored? I won't be there to present.
