CO opens base at RNT.
There are now 5 CO 737s just parked at RNT. This can't be good.

Two 777s will be added to the queue soon. Officially waiting till Q3 for delivery, and seem that the Y seats may be the cause:

It's somewhat funny that the 'expert's over at A.net have a thread going on the delivery delays, and not a single one has yet to discover this issue with the seat manufacturer.
They're over there poking theories that CAL is having financial problems, and due to the economic slowdown they don't need the jets, etc.
The folks over here at FT are ahead of the curve on this one.....

The official fleet plan is clearly showing those 735s you mentioned coming back in as a stopgap as well, which someone there suggested was a typo for 753s....
However it seems the 753s are being allowed to come into service, so seems they are either exempt from the seat issue, or not using the Koito seats.

The 753s are not new, and they come with seats from ATA! The shortage is for new seats. There's no immediate recall on the existing ones.
