The 70 number is a new (never before announced) total figure of rj cuts. Whether that total of 70 cuts includes the 35 cuts announced in Jan. is not clear. Ergo, this weeks announcement constitutes an additional elimination of either 10 or 45 rjs from the fleet. My guess is 10.

btw, I spoke to an ATL CP this morning who confirmed, per a company-wide leadership conference he attended yesterday, that DAL will be hiring in the fall to cover the 777 deliveries.
