we have ordered 8 more 777 a/c (no specifics on -200/-300) and 19 more 737NG a/c to expand. Now we know how we are going to expand w/o the 787 for now!!!
I can finally breathe after holding my breath for a long time holding this in!!

Wow that is awesome news! It is good to see them order more 777s since they have such a small fleet. The 777 seems an essential part in the Continental fleet. Unfortunately with the backlog, it will probably be 3 years before any of those can be delivered.
Continental is certainly going to be receiving a lot of 737s. Continental seems to be receiving about a 4-6 737s a month right now since they started taking delivery. It will be good to see them take more 737-900ERs if they choose to. The 738s and 739ERs will probably be put to good use. Hopefully we'll see more CO routes go from RJs to mainline!
Part of me wonders if these planes will ever be painted in the Continental livery though. If CO merges, there's a good chance that their name would go, but still orders are a good thing. It is nice to see a mainline airline in the United States ordering and taking delivery of planes! The fleets in the US are only getting older.

CO has 20 777s now. How is that a "small fleet"?
Anyway, it's good to see CO get more 737NG...hope they go for the -900ER, and maybe a few more
-700s as well. Are the -300s & -500s on the way to early retirement?

Quoting FlagshipAZ (Reply 6): Are the -300s & -500s on the way to early retirement?
Excerpts From the Daily News Update to employees.....
CO orders new 777s and 737s from Boeing
CO has added 27 aircraft to its firm order positions at Boeing, including eight new 777 and 19 new Next-Generation 737 (737NG) aircraft. The aircraft orders give CO the flexibility to replace less efficient airplanes and to pursue growth opportunities.
One of the world's most popular and reliable aircraft, the Boeing 737NGs feature advanced technology for greater operational efficiencies. The 19 additional 737NGs, along with other 737NG aircraft already on order, will give CO the flexibility to continue to grow while replacing less efficient 737 Classic aircraft, such as the company's 737-300 and 737-500 aircraft.

Compared to AA and UA, it's a small fleet. CO's international fleet is a bit short on widebodies compared to AA, UA and even NW and DL I think. 757 international expansion is good, but it can only get the airlines so far.

Quoting Drerx7 (Reply 15): hopefully they are LRs or -300s.
If ever there was an airline that ought to have 777-200LRs, CO is it...
1) Their existing 777-200ERs use GE90 engines
2) They fly multiple routes that are long enough to be severely weight restricted on -200ERs
3) They'd like to open *more* such routes
4) They make money from cargo
...a textbook example of the reason the 777-200LR was designed and built.

I second that!! If they don't get the 300ER, then maybe a merged CO/UA would get 748i's as they'll need a larger plane than the 772 and UA's 744's are getting on a bit in age. OK, wishful thinking, but I can dream, can't I?

Ordering 77L's would be a boon for CO on routes such as BOM-EWR, DEL-EWR and EWR-HKG; I believe these routes all are restricted in terms of carrying cargo. The 77W would also be a great addition for routes such as EWR/IAH-LHR, IAH-NRT, and of course EWR-TLV.

as for delivery dates, it seems certain that CO is ordering some to compensate for the 787 delays so CO doesn't have to wait 18 more months for another growth airplane.
I hope CO does order the LR; it will only validate the decision DL made in buying either a massive cargo hauler - great for service to Asia or a great performer for hot/high airports like JNB, India etc.
Maybe CO will claim those last 7 South Africa frequencies.
26 Toxtethogrady: Singapore has 77... Heck, even Garuda ordered 10. And 300's at that.
