Seattlepilots numbers sound about right for incoming ac deliveries. Only A319/320's from what I recall from my 2003 year end Aviation Week that lists all future a/c deliveries.

A-380 - UA or NW would probably be the only US cutomers for it IMHO, and I doubt that's gonna happen at all. I see that aircraft going the way of the MD-11.

7E7 - once they get their financial situation in order I would say it would definitely be ordered, regardless of the engine maker or UA's history with Pratt.

737 phase-out - maybe but I doubt anytime soon. Smaller capacity than the A319/320 and it has a role for now. If they would only upgrade the cabins then it might be a tad more comfy to fly

777 - Maybe as was stated before ordering the LR or ER to replace the 744.

Speculation - fun fun fun!!!
