Look for a annoucement of a early retirement program in the next 3 months to offset the 747-200's. There are however a lot of issues to be worked out. It appears the program will appeal for the most part only to Delta N pilots. Since the funding requirements ongoing for the Delta N retirement are going to be quite large the concept of additional retirement money going that direction is going to be a difficult pill to swallow for many Delta S pilots. Working through those details may derail the program but for the moment Delta is working on a early retirement program to be effective in the fall.
