If not, then you are not qualified to even have an opinion on the subject. The rates were indeed brought up to the ER rate. I am so tired of people who were not here claiming otherwise.
Now if your argument is that the ER rate has not kept pace with other widebody rates, I might agree with you. Denny |

Yes I was here when that happened. I thought it was a mistake to match the rates. Two thoughts, the ER rate was too low to begin with and that has never been addressed. Second, getting the rate to where it should be will be hard since the category flies far more 757 time than ER time. The ER rate is only $10 more than the 739, but $36 less than the 764. Do you really think it’s an appropriate wide body rate? IMHO it’s an appropriate rate for the 757, but the ER should pay $15-20 more.

Can anyone point me to the table that shows what issues pilots are allowed to have an opinion on, as a function of their hire date?

I suspect that this order MAY get Boeing to commit to their M.O.M new narrow body and that will probably be on that list.
Hopefully everything DL orders from here on out has a headrest!! Also, before the merger, I was working on the 787 Goldcare MRO at NWA, which Boeing screwed Delta out of. I don't think we will ever see the 787 in Delta colors for that reason. |

The A321 can be stretched to cover the MOM segment, with the engine that Delta is now the MRO for. Neither a reissued 757 or 737 can meet takeoff certification requirements, without sacrificing fuel economy in this market, thus requiring a entirely new designed 797. I don't know if it makes financial sense for Delta to buy the 797, when these 100 options can be converted to an A321neo stretch with the volume discount. Obviously, more than just 75 Cseries are coming as well, so it's going to be all Airbii for a while.

Airlines want a 225 seat 3 class international aircraft that can go 5500 miles and carry cargo. There is nothing in that market segment hence the rumor that 767 passenger production might resume.

What about the 330-800 NEO, says 257 seats with 7500 nm range.

I just work here but geez. You'd think a killer 1-2 combo like 757/767 that was designed 30+ yrs ago would have a compelling, newer and better version of itself available in the marketplace. Too bad that's just not the case.

The A321 probably can't be stretched again. It's out of both wing and landing gear.
