Thus, Dal would never have been able to negotiate a deal from Boeing without Nwa 787 order. Second, if Dal strong arms boeing and returns the leased 747 during a time period when Boeing would have trouble placing those aircraft elsewhere and gets another great deal for 777s from boeing then once again that would only be available because of what Nwa had. I could also bring up the opportunities that the Asia flying will bring etc.

Let's not stir the pot with name calling like "weasel". Nobody is trying to "weasel" anybody. The sli is done and name calling is not going to help our cause. No one is going to try and take over the 777s you have right now on your property or the orders you have on the books, however if Dal trades in the 400s for 777s you can't tell me that all the dal-n guys flying the 400 should go to smaller equipment while all the dal-s guys move to dtw and fly the 777s? You think that is fair? Come on, be real. And give NewK an apology. All he is trying to do is keep the peace here.
