Anyways; it's not the 30 min turn that's impossible (difficult yes, impossible no) it's the flow delays, gate delays, weather delays etc that will get them.

Aren't those 30 minute turns driven by the schedule that Delta makes for us? I'm sure for a 717 they will need to schedule longer than 30 minutes for a turn. Maybe 35 minutes :-)

This was a small August one of 8 upgrades. I think they slowed the upgrades to catch up, but we need to be doing at least 30/month. There will be another August 1 bid, that should have 24 more upgrades in it, which could push the upgrades into February and maybe March depending on bypass rates.
They only did 5 or 6 alternates for this bid and it went to January 8. Revisions have been happening on every bid, so don't be surprised to see the awarded DOH go to 12/30 or into January on this initial August one.
The September 1 and October 1 bids will probably be the last big upgrade months of 30/month followed by 10-15/month thereafter. It will be interesting to see how deep those go.

By my calculations for the past few bids, about 45% are eligible for upgrade...bypassing about 55%.
Of course, that could change.
