I'll admit, I can't remember how our side treated orders.
So, either we both account for orders, or neither side accounts for orders. And I personally think if you are accounting for firm orders, you also have to account for aircraft you know are going away.
If nwa didn't account for the delta 777/737 firm orders they should have seen as they considered the 787.
what airplanes are going away? both sides said they were cutting capacity last spring to account for the rising fuel prices. I know the 9's are old but they were suppose to have 58 of them left. (superpilots #) If delta decides to park airplanes then both sides should take the hit because both were talking reductions in flying.
Hopefully the airplanes that go away are just replaced with newer/better equipment for you guys.
