And yet no replacement bids for the retiring 747/777 Captains...
If you want to be a 717 or 737 Capt. for the rest of your life, Delta Rocks! But if you want to make some money, not so much, when you consider the fleets and number of 747/777 Capt. jobs at UCon and AA, compared to the 16 747's and 18 777's at Delta.
Oh wait, Richard just said he wants to replace the 747's with something smaller, so we've got that going for us!
