Back in about 2004 I was a 777 PI. We all got called into a meeting where the system chief pilot and the 777 fleet captain informed us that we were parking all of the 777’s and replacing them with A-340’s and all of us were being sent to France for transition training. And that it was a done deal!
Have you ever seen an A-340 in a United paint job?
Beware of what you hear at TK even from mahogany row..

But France (Airbus) was going to throw some billions at UAL to prop us up and chuck some deferred payment 340’s in with the mix.
Just like they did with America West and the 320 back when AWA went bankrupt.

Aviation
Harvey was an avid pilot who had briefly served in the US Army Air Corps from December 1943 to March 1944. Harvey was an Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) member for more than 50 years and would occasionally talk about flying to his radio audience. He was a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), and he was frequently seen at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He was responsible for funding the Paul Harvey Audio-Video Center at EAA's headquarters in Oshkosh. Harvey was also an early investor in aircraft manufacturing company Cirrus Aircraft, based in Duluth, Minnesota. According to the AOPA Pilot contributing editor Barry Schiff, Harvey coined the term skyjack and is credited with popularizing the terms Reaganomics and guesstimate.(Courtesy Wikipedia)
