Dear Lord, please no.

Hopefully Boeing has stepped on it's crank enough with us for more 737s to not be a likelihood. :eek:

Or a nice steady max order helps tamp down the #$@# hurt over the CS order....

But I too hope that we lean towards roomy flightdecks.

LAX and NYC get a lot of attention regarding new terminals, but SLC is halfway through the construction of their new terminal, and it will be quite something. It should allow for upgaging/expansion and will operate effectively in adverse weather. The old terminal will be completely razed when the new one opens...

So basically they're copying CVG...:cool:

We were only ever going to get the 73MAX because we assumed it meant "maximum fuselage length allowable by physics". When we found out MAX really meant the most modern engine and only a substantial amount of the maximum fuselage stretching allowable by physics we were all

Yup. Very similar layout. No more one way alleys!

I suppose delta could continue with the frakenstein fleet model and we would end up with some nb from every maker out there.

But if not....seems its a multiple choice of three... with Delta typically selecting 'all of the above'. :)

I am pretty bummed about the shrinking of NRT. As these customers get replaced with codeshare on other airlines, I thought I'd share what it looks like to be on the receiving end of codeshare in our favor.

For all those routes listed, "Aeromexico Operated by Delta" means Aeromexico is surrendering all their customers that want to go to those destinations to Delta metal. That means an extra agent selling Delta seats for us. That means more customers on our existing routes. Upgauging and more jobs to our bread and butter routes that fill the majority of our pilots paychecks.

Gotcha. My bad. I read it differently, thinking it was AM taking our passengers, though I couldn't see them operating out of DTW!

Boeing: "pffft. Like what else you can order Delta? There is nothing that matches this!!"

What's that thing he's holding with both hands? Doesn't it prevent him from reaching up to turn on the pitot heat and set the landing elevation? Good thing he's got those handy steam gages up there to read duct pressure and cabin PSID!

The 60's are going to sue for "Technology Infringement".

Just kidding! Thank heavens the cockpit is spacious and quiet. :D
