One follow on note to yesterday's lengthy post - sometimes folks speculate on us taking DALs 767-400s and 777s in exchange for our A350 orders and there are even rumors floating around saying as such. I frankly have no idea whether or not such a deal might happen. However, I saw today that DALs A350s have RR engines. So, in light of our RR sticky wicket, such a deal would give us another avenue for unloading our superfluous A350 order. It would also allow us to retire our oldest 756s/777s fairly soon and replace them with a number of newer frames cheaply. In the process, DAL could start reducing fleet types as they move to a mostly AB fleet. Makes a lot of sense to me, but it takes two companies to tango.
