Bye Bye EAA, EAB

This is exactly the kind of news I hear from LY, that at the end always get postpones.
Remember how many times they said they will stop flying the 742's with pax, before they actually did it?

BUT - I heard they plan on getting rid of the "older" 762 in the fleet soon. They will start with EAA and EAB will stop flying in Decemebr 2007, then try to get rid of EAC and EAD. I dont think they will get rid of EAC and EAD until they have more 763.
They also plan on getting rid of the 757 and get more 737's.
They plan on having a fleet of:

737
763 (or as rumoured A330,B787,350)
777
744
that means no 757 and no 762
but I am sure this is not the last we will hear of this.

IMAGINE how amazing a new LY would look if the management went crazy and got a lot of money pumped into them?????
They order:
748 - 4
772 hold on to their 777, maybe get 2 773ER (though unlikely since new engines GE)
787 - Ten a/c for now with option for 10 788 and 789 maybe later to change some 777 into 7810
737-8 and new order for 6 739ER
