The Original Poster is on to something. I don't think his worry over lack of WB aircraft is the primary threat to DAL becoming a dead-end job. Yes it would be great to have more WB but still plenty of variety with the most varied/inefficient/versatile/agile/costly/numerous (pick your favorite) fleet around.

The real long term threat to a DAL career is the same exact threat that every US airline will face, - cabotage, shell game schemes (think NAI), the ME three etc.


Just look at what happened t the merchant marine industry and you will see the real threat to US airline careers.
