all of their 757/767s
this takes them from 7 pilot groups to 5 (777,787,330,320,737) and 4 pay groups to 2. 1 of those groups will have a whopping 15 airplanes
I wonder if DL will use this time to streamline the fleet like AA did
There are around 700 group 2 planes (737 and 320) and probably 100 group 4 planes (330,787,777).
The group 1 and 3 categories were the small ones.
