Categorization
editThere is some confusion about where this fits in GE's corporate structure (and thus how it should be categorized). Per [1] GECAS is in GE Infrastructure, and it is not listed on [2], but it is listed on [3]. I think having subcategories under Category:General Electric subsidiaries for each of the six GE business helps clarify the structure; I will add GECAS to both for now. --RNLion 07:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see what the hubub is about. Just look at the logo: It tells you exactly which umbrella GECAS falls under. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 19:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Touché. The logo was out of date. Current logo from [4] uploaded to Image:GECAS_Logo.png. — RNLion 01:49, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Additions and losses
editThis article already documents when GECAS buys new airplanes. Why is the documentation of the losses of aircraft from company inventory wrong? Large outlays of capital are used to buy planes. Losses of aircraft represent large monetary losses.
- On 29 March 2015, Air Canada Flight 624, operating on a leased GECAS aircraft C-FTJP, an Airbus A320-200 cn:233, crashed on landing and was written off.[1][2][3][4]

- Thanks for directing us to your question from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies
- Perhaps GECAS was insured against those losses. However, an aircraft crash is a rare event and probably should be noted on the fleet owner's article, if indeed GECAS is not just an investor in the plane, but 100% owner. Clearly @YSSYguy: and @BilCat: disagree: the reason they gave is that "GECAS didn't have the accident."
- I disagree with listing announcements of small additions to the fleet. In my opinion they should be deleted.

- Listing accidents to aircraft is has leased out doesnt appear to add anything to the article, it may own (or raise the capital for) thousands of aircraft, I suspect more than one has crashed in the last twenty-odd years but it is not really reported as it is not notable.

Article Tidy
editI have had a tidy up of the article to try and introduce some history of the company and gain some balance, the unreferenced list of operators has been removed as it is fairly useless and not really needed. I also turned the history section into something about the business, a list of recent orders is not relevant its what the company does all the time, and listing every order over the twenty-odd years for thousands of aircraft is again not really needed. If anybody has more cited information on the actual history of the company then please add it, thanks MilborneOne (talk) 19:44, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
