Total of 230 wide-bodies after all 764 and 330ceo retirements. That’s bigger than United’s plans (x150 787 + 50 options, but they have many more replacements). Already parking old PW 777’s + 764’s.
As I’ve been saying. The next decade at Delta will be very global and ambitious. The WB fleet will be the largest it’s even been in its history with both 787’s, 359’s, and 339’s. Love to see the haters each Delta expand beyond “JV reliance yadada”. Amazing time to be starting at Delta.
Must admit you’ve definitely gotten these right.
I’ve totally reframed my mental approach and am excited as my re-application window approaches. Can’t wait to be a Delta pilot if I should be that lucky.
