The original question came up after a dinner discussion with some FAs over the meaning of an IFS memo about shrinking fNW fleets and growing fDL fleets and the benefit to them of resolving their representational issues. It was a pretty inocuous question in my mind.
The false statement was that fNWA was shrinking while the fDAL fleet was growing. We were and are getting new A-330's right up to the merger and afterward. Both sides were shrinking some parts of their fleets and growing others. Thus the falseness of your statement.
