There is a narrowbody floor that must be contractually respected. As in there are a minimum number of narrowbodys that must be on the property in comparison to Compass and Mesaba 76 seaters.

Thanks for your concern for NWA DC-9 pilots Bar, but we will be ok. Our DC-9 pilots are DC-9 pilots because they want to be. I have flown with new hires who are on their way to the 747 (s/o) and 320 (FO).

If you are looking at the same information we are, you know that NWA has plently of cash to buy whatever airplanes they want to. There is no need for shrinkage. I think we just are rich in the understanding that any airplane NWA has is not ours as pilots. All we do is fly them. I guess we are not as lucky as you at DAL, where they buy airplanes just so you can fly them. (Or, "invest in their pilots", as you said on another thread)

Understand that the only reason I jump on your posts is that they all seem to indicate that you feel that everyone should be honored to fly for Delta Airlines and jump for joy at the prospects of flying a 767 with a double breasted suit jacket hanging in the closet behind you.

Overplayed our hand? Do you know what our -400's do? Have you been to Narita? Amsterdam? Delta is not the only airline that fly's international. I think our hands are just fine without the coat.
