And now DAL is dead - set on outsourcing our careers? Just no winning here.
DAL is just fine. Management plans on increasing not decreasing our international flying and they have the fleet plan to support it. They have as a matter of policy stated they prefer buying aircraft in small blocks rather then big orders so the order book is not as extensive as AMR or UAL. For all the forum doom and gloom we are still the largest carrier to Europe and the second largest over the pacific with almost 3 times what AMR has.
