so, are we to believe that there will be a total of 15 A330-200 on the property in the next 3 years? seems hard to believe that the 5 being delivered starting next year will materialize let alone the other 10 on order. anyone have any info on the status of the order? Why can't we find any 767 lying around in the meantime? seems like etops 757 are working out but how about some widebodies to PHX and the large west coast cities?This is from last Nov(2007)

The only change, I believe, is that there will not be a lease of 2 A330-200's that are mentioned in this press release.
2009, as was mentioned in this forum within the last week or two, will see 5 A330-200's delivered beginning in May.
Could someone tell me how many AB 330's we are getting in 2009 and where can I read this information in some official USAirways statement???
Thanks
We are scheduled to take delivery of five 332's in 2009, May, Jun, Sep, Nov, and Dec.
Don't you mean "what are we doing a week from yesterday!?"Long term planning means "what are we doing a week from tomorrow."
In the 10Q you can see where it states that 2 aircraft scheduled to be leased in the second half of 2009 have been canceled.
Some folks have said that these are the Swiss Air aircraft, but those aircraft were canceled for the last half of 2008....weren't they????
So does that mean that we are now scheduled for 3 AB330-2's from Airbus for all of 2009???
It sure is hard to keep up with!!!!

Quarterly Report
Fleet Reduction: We are returning ten aircraft to lessors, which includes six Boeing 737-300 aircraft to be returned by the end of 2008 and four Airbus A320 aircraft to be returned in the first half of 2009. We have also cancelled the leases of two A330-200 wide-body aircraft that had been scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2009. Further, we plan to reduce additional aircraft in 2009 and 2010.
Because they need the first two in May/Jun to start preparing for the July launch of PHL-TLV. The other 3 could be pushed back until they decide on more long routes.If Tempe can delay the delivery of what seems to be the 3 A330s being delivered in 2009, they will do so. Mark my words. Why purchase a money-making asset when you can simply limp along with inadequate 757 retrofits, and watch your deteriorating service cause market share shrinkage?
