This fence is not going to be the deciding factor as to whether or not DAL buys more aircraft. If they think it is to their advantage to do so, they will do it now in any cobination of replacement (744 or 787) or new aircraft. They will work with LM and get it done, especially if it means additional Capt. positions or more new hires. If they have to pay protect some pilots they will. Bottom line, if they need the aircraft to compete, it's going to get done. The fence won't stop them.
