The only airplanes on order are a 777 or two and about 18 787's which we might not see for years. On top of that, the company is ordering more 76 seaters for DCI than our contract allows. There are virtually 0 retirements due to age 65. Tell me how Delta is not going to furlough again. On top of that, let's say they do not furlough. The guys at the bottom of the list will always be at the bottom of the list. This company might go 15-20 years without hiring a soul.
I would take what some say with a grain of salt. Especially when it comes to the time line of retiring NWA aircraft.
