yeah.........I'm a little more concerned with THIS part of the release...
To improve profitability in its Cargo operation, Delta will retire its remaining fleet of 14 Boeing 747-200 aircraft Dec. 31 because of that fleet’s age and inefficiency. Delta is accelerating merger synergies as much as possible, including cross-fleeting, technology, and loyalty programs, among others.
Delta also plans to remove 40 to 50 aircraft from the fleet this year, including a mix of DC-9, MD-88, B757-200, B767-300, B767-300ER, B747-400 aircraft, along with the B747-200 freighters. As previously announced, Delta will reduce international capacity by 10% starting in September.
