We are in the process of down gauging from 747-400 to A-330/A-350. Block Hour ratio could work in place of EASK, but needs to be 60/40 in favor of Delta, not 50/50.

Those who point to our large orders for A-330 and A-350 as a way to up gauge from our ER fleet forget that the 25 A-330 NEOs arrive AFTER the term of this TA. The first A-350 doesn't show up until well into TA 2015.
