I think RA is positioning Delta to be THE domestic carrier. He recognizes the threat from the ME carriers in the international market and though hasn't thrown in the towel, I don't see Delta really going head to head with them and therefore no need to buy the widebody airplanes. We will fly what we have not till they are scrap metal, but we probably won't be renewing them or expanding our international fleet to well. On the other hand he might be just waiting for the 350 to put some pressure on Boeing for the 787 and 777X.
