Not to mention 170+ 757s & 737-900s
THAT is a bunch of heavy lift.
Maybe we can steal Avis' old tagline "we're #2, we try harder"...

Which may be the reason for the 764 rumors. Boeing made a whopping 37 767-400s, 16 went to CAL and 21 to DAL. Maybe CAL doesn't need the 16 anymore and while you might not want to sell them to DAL at least DAL would probably buy your entire small fleet and outside of JFK/EWR you know DAL 764s won't be coming back in with a foreign carrier to compete against you in your hubs.
And you just raised their debt and if you don't sell them now DAL might run off and secure other aircraft and not have room for a fleet you're no longer interested in.
