Pilots don't usually make the same mistake twice if they got burned the first time. Credibility is gone when it comes to DAL getting new jets based on the pilots' contract.
The company took every single jet they promised to get as a result of contract 2012 plus quite a few extras. DALPA predicted a mainline fleet of 796 airframes by 2016. A number widely stated as total BS by the forum. How many jets will we have by 31 DEC?
