Fleet Count

[Revolutions]

Is there anywhere I can find out how many and what type of aircraft UA has in its ACTIVE fleet?

Also, how many A320s are in TED service?

Ted...................Say Bye Bye.

Borescope,
why BYE BYE Ted?

Lets see, improved seats on each aircraft, improved utilization, same dispatch, flight ops control, and company support. UAL has successfully come up with an operation that competes effectively both marketing wise and financially in TED. There is no better move that UAL has made and TED is here to stay.

LCC's better hope this next week shows UAL good fortune with the ATSB, if pensions are revised or terminated UAL's cost structure will get even more scary for it's competitors. UAL already pays lower than many competitors in many jobs, lower on the 737 than Alaska, DAL, SWA, and American.

Keep your taunting jabs to yourself and show me why TED should be grounded, in fact it is among the most successful responses to LCC competition by any legacy carrier.

Eagerly awaiting your reply??

Too soon to pull the plug on TED in my view. If anything, you might see more expansion in TED if we conclusively don't get the loan guarantee.

As for fleet count, Ted is on it's way to about 45 A320's, but is not there yet. I believe they'll reach that number by summer's end. As for a total fleet count, figure about 500 active aircraft, give or take. Of course, if we don't get the loan, I'm quite sure that number will shrink even further.

Guppy,
That is just my personal opinion on TED. It may very well be what we need. However, I see something else having to give for us to keep expanding in all directions, especially now.


On another note we all know, and many have posted, that there is more to the equation than just wages.

I see TED being 80% of the domestic operation in the next few yrs.
All except for Transcons, and a few select NE/WestCoast and hub-hub markets will remain mainline. The rest, I see Orange tails (TED planes have orange swirly tails).

You are most likely correct. But that 80% will come from the mainline routes. :down:
