If they got the 777's for next to nothing then they could in fact be cheaper to operate than the 767's. Further, they are literally in the middle of the European continent (if you count Russia as European <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/graphics/smilies/wink.gif" width="...

Unless there is a lease agreement with someone, I have not seen any new orders come up on the boeing site.

I'm pretty sure UIA will wait out to see what the Aerosvit family does before deciding on 777's or 330's.

RE: WestJet - New Fleet

FLYYUL you are assuming that WS is still an LCC, I'd argue that they left their original/LCC model long ago. If they go with 67's or 87's it wont be in the context of operating as a LCC.

You have to have a university degree or do the 4 years at the RMC, and then there is no sure bet that you get into the fixed wing program, based testing they decide if you stay on the ground, get fixed wing, or chopper. At least thats how it was when I was looking into it.
