Seriously, I would bet that Airbus could pencil whip an increased gross weight for the airplanes we now have. (We just need to send them some $$) The only issue is fuel tanks, and I am not positive if the tanks are completely full as is.

Don't think I said that at all....M90s, B717s and prior TWA B757s do establish a pattern of "good deals" not based on "new." The A220 and (possibly) the A350 and A330NEO support a pattern of "new" and "good" deals. Ergo, Delta is all about the deal, regardless of age. UAL and AA seem to focus, for the most part, on "new" and that is why they are carrying a lot more debt than we are.

Yessir....slow and steady wins the race.
And, maybe we can get a good deal on some of their bigger but not so shiny jets when they need to offload a few during the next downturn. Still thinking used 787s showing up via Norweigan is not beyond the scope of possibility for us. Who knows?

So... 12,000 lbs more MTOW, and a forward cargo compartment you can't use. We get the Walmart contract or something?
