Where are the 767's on the schedules?

[PHL]

With the new schedules, I can only account for 8 767''s. Figure a spare or two. But I thought US has 11 of them. Are they really preparing a few for return?
I randomly picked 1/19/03 as a day out in the future that may or may not be representive of a winter schedule.
You figure at 3am EST(midnight PST, 9am CET), there are aircraft in the following places ready for departures within the next several hours:
AMS, MUC, MAD (to PHL)
FRA (to CLT)
LGW (to PIT)
PHL (to SJU and CLT)
LAX (to PIT)
That''s 8 birds. What am I missing?
Removed are the LGW-PHL and CDG-PIT seasonal routes. That would be 10. Are they somewhere else on the schedule, being used for spares, chartered, etc.?

PHL responds:
NAS is served with a 757
phl-mco is losing 767 service
phl-lax is losing 767 service
fra-clt is covered in my list already

clt-lax-pit, are operated with equipment covered in the initial numbers I gave above. Probably the CLT-FRA bird, or a spare in the wings.

clt-phl, due to it's late time, is likely a spare or repositioner for the morning flights out of PHL(SJU and return to CLT).

So, I think we're still at 8 physical 767's accounted for. Maybe a 9th with the CLT-PHL segments.

It's easier to account for them when there's a time that they're all on the ground, which is sometime around 3am EST. That's what my original list aimed to do. Where are the other 3?

My original post was looking to January when the new skeds are in place. PHL-NAS downgrades to a 757 on 11/3.

But, thanks for the heads up on that because CLT-NAS-CLT remains a 767. So that's 9 accounted for.

I wouldn't be surprised if 1 of them ends up doing the Santo Domingo run. They are needed for cargo and pax.

One of these (LGW-PIT?) is repositioned between PIT-PHL in the winter schedule. I've got PIT-PHL-LGW, and the PIT-PHL segment is on a 767, of all things.

As Lakeguy made mention of...You can just about bank on one of the B767's being in the CLT Hangar (Bay 3) at any given time for Scheduled Heavy Maintenance. Acft 645 is the current Bay 3 resident. You will also see an overlap of another aircraft being opened up for pre-induction to Heavy Maint. cleaning while the aircraft coming out of heavy gets within a day of being returned to line service. This of course is not always a constant fact...because the A330-300's use this same hangar bay for thier scheduled work too.

Also, the A330 fleet under goes C-Checks during the winter months. One A330 comes offline and a 767 runs that route.

[PHL]

It looks like those routes are covered by 9 aircraft, leaving 2 for spare. That would make sense if these other 2 are swap-outs for maintenance on other 767's or replacing a 330 in CLT for heavy mainteance.
