As much as you want to, we cannot force the company to buy any particular type of airplane. They will buy what they need to execute their plan. What you are talking about and what that article allude to are two different things. I get it. I am on your side with the EASK vs BH thingy, but there is no argument to be made with that article. IMHO, DAL buying more 757s is a win any way you slice it.
