A "possible" narrowbody order and the chance of exercising options are fact?
from sailingfun
The possible narrow body purchase ïs in addition to the 100 737's planned as replacement aircraft.
and
If Delta purchase 40 additional airframes via the two new RFP's we will put into service over 240 airframes in the next 4 years. We also hold options for 30 more 737's. the fleet plan has us parking 85 757's in that period. There will be some A320's parked in Addition to the 757's however the net gain in airframes should be around 130
How many is "some A320's parked?" 5? 40? More than 40?
Net gain "should be around". Should be.....
And are those two new RFP's firm orders? Or is that just shopping around for price on something that may or may not happen?
You're right 76drvr. Those were fact filled posts.
And nothing is "confirmed" until they are on the line flying revenue trips.
