I think you mean only older 320s. The oldest 319 was delivered in 1999. Younger then over half of Delta's B747s. The A319s are likely not being parked anytime soon. And I thought the 737-900ERs were replacing the older 320/757s? Because several Delta people are complaining about how it's replacing 757 flying, but pays less. So 88 B717s are replacing 16 DC9-50s?
