Note: This is an article that was written before I went on vacation that my good friend Jon Heckman graciously offered to post for me. I will return to normal posting on June 29.
The 737 classics are having a very rough year. United, Continental, US Airways, Southwest, and now Lufthansa are cutting back or eliminating their fleets of these aircraft. Lufthansa will be replacing its 737-300s and 737-500s the next few years with A320s.
In other news, the carrier has also started certifying its pilots for the A380, which is certainly exciting! The pilots are coming from the A330/A340 fleet. Does anyone know if there is any commonality among the aircraft?
In addition, the 747-8s, if there are no delays, are slated to move into service by 2010.
