I'm sure this is your attempt at being funny. Bottom line, the company will buy and/or lease aircraft to maximize its profits. Buying one set of air frames in no way guarantees buying another. That said, if the 717s can be picked up at fire sale prices then they will probably purchase. Delta pilots should in no way think we are partners in buying aircraft. We are giving up work rules and taking a meager pay raise to watch the company do most of what they were going to do anyway.
