I know there's more to it, but that seems like the fleet going forward.
That is quite a few air frames to cut loose. The 88/90 are gone. I expect some of the older 757/767er’s to be culled out too. But I expect quite a few of the others to go into storage for a year or two and then be gradually brought back depending on demand.
My concern was not that Delta would get rid of the 330 but what are those LAX 777 guys gonna do if/when the LAX 777 category goes away...hopefully management pulls their collective head out and offers a robust early out program.........yeah, I know, if pigs could fly.....but a fella can dream can’t he!?!
