Honestly, I think that CAM should pick up the 757 frames and put them into short term storage. This could be an opportunity for CAM to place those 757’s with the operators who need to replace older 762’s.

Jump to postMy bet is they will get more 789’s. I think the A321LR would be payload restricted with combined pax and payload. If they need freighters for transporting freighters to and from Papeete, then I think they should get a couple. Whether it would be A321’s or 738’s.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the order split considering you have fleets of both. BA currently has more 787-10 including those to be delivered than the A35K. Hence my reasoning that the order will be split. I imagine more 789’s will be ordered as well.
Jump to postI would agree, however, the 77W would enable them to serve routes that demand cargo volume. In addition, they would be able to add new routes to their cargo network, that otherwise would not be served. It’s a catch 22 because we don’t know when the cargo market is going to boom again.
Jump to postAC canceled their 77F new orders. They might be better off ordering a converted 77W.

I’m willing to bet you a company like Amerijet will snap them up. FedEx could snap them up to replace older 757’s.
Would not surprise me if they get more than five 739ER as those are a great casm a/c. I have a feeling meaning a gut feeling that they will get around 10 if the five work out well. Use some for Florida and use the other for their holiday bread-and-butter routes.
