It's a rumor but the source is impeccable.
Is the 'next edition' of the 787 out yet?
I know Richard pushed off the 787's NW had on order, until 2020, but those were the first edition jets with all the problems, the ones Richard said of; We don't want the first edition of anything...
So...are the longer 787's already flying and being delivered? Or has Richard changed his mind on the First Edition 787's?
Oh, and what about the 787 Fence? Remember, those 787's that NW had on order were also fenced, and the 5yr. Fence doesn't come down until Jan. 1, 2015, so if indeed there are 787's delivered to Delta prior to that, my guess is they will be fenced for the NW pilots only.
