I am sure Delta is sitting on the BOS opening, weighing all the events around the world. Lots of variables out there.
High take rate in the 2000/2001 range. Still clipping at early 2007 hires.
Cruising the list, there are a lot of pilots hired in their mid-20s from 2007 to 2008. For each of those that takes a WBA slot, that will lock up a seat for two decades! 20 years, WBA. I see a continuation of 2000/2001 taking WBA as they finish out a career. The 2007/2008 group will have kids out of high school and waive weekends off.
2007's trickling in for the balance of 2024
2008 and 10's 2025
2014's in 2026
Yes there are deliveries, but the 767's go at some point
