Only 8 are returning to the lessors. That was already in place and scheduled to happen before Delta announced it's domestic cuts. We "lost" another 6 aircraft... According to the Chiefs that came into recurrent last month, those 6 will be parked over at old remote or at the maintenance hangar for spares or whenever Delta realizes that the public demand for flying isn't going anywhere.
Personally, I'd like to see those 6 making money (whatever profit we can get) for another carrier. Hopefully Delta will see that whatever money we make they technically make anyway, and will allow it. And hopefully said carrier is impressed and wants us to do more flying. But thats my little dream...
