About delta numbers: On Apc central airline pages they had two different postings for delta's numbers and then got edited with lower numbers. All these numbers on this spreadsheet have been pulled from APC.com. I just compiled them into one source so I could compare them side-by-side and see how many per year are retiring.
I've barked at them several times. I don't know what the deal is, but they keep posting the lower, invalid numbers.
What DLpilot posted is correct- I can PM you the full numbers all the way out to 2048 or 49 whenever the now youngest guy or gal will retire.
