One thing to consider is some or all of this could be a combination of a negotiating position between Boeing & Airbus and some fleet realignment liked rumored above more 777's and A350's for A320 and A321's. I also wouldn't rule out an acquisition of a JetBlue, Frontier or Spirit. That could get you to the 16,000 number.

I have my fingers crossed he's right because the day the A321 order is announced is the day I bid Airbus captain.

One positive note from the article. Levy is on record as saying they need to evaluate the stock buyback. Good. Let's stop draining the coffers for the hedge funds

Mr. Munoz is on record promising almost $5 billion in increased profit over the next 4 years. That doesn't happen with zero growth. My money is on Sniper's report.

You've been around long enough to know that an aircraft order does not equate to actually flying said airplanes.

Unless they have unannounced planes in the pipeline, parking the -400's and PS 57's by 2018 is a rather large loss of lift unless they can further increase aircraft utilization.

"by 2009 we could have 1000 aircraft and 17,800 pilots to fly them"
I post a copy of it from time to time on the Wailing Wall in ORD...
