The 767s sit on the ground for half a day in (south)South America before returning yet they still return a good yield on the routes.
1. The 737-700ER is not a retofit, it is a new aircraft based of the BBJ. New Planes would be required to be pruchased.
2. Please only sit if they HAVE TO, I bet if Continental could figure out someting else to do with that plane siting around all day waiting to return from South America - they would.
