We used to fly it out of ATL, along with a whole host of other cities. A lot of this "new" service is actually stuff we used to fly. Some, like BOS-FCO truly is new, and much welcomed.

First of all, with additional 330s, I believe there is expansion going on but as far as the 767-400s go.......where were they flying before they went into modifications? Did we still fly to those destinations or were there some that were dropped and now are coming back?

I guess it’s all relative. We use to fly Budapest, Bucharest, Amman, Cairo, New Delhi, Mumbai, Kiev, Moscow, St Petersburg....the list goes on and on. We also use to have a hub in Frankfurt. What about Palau, Guam, Saipan, Osaka, Nagoya, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Hanoi ?
So, if we started flying all those routes ....and the many others that I didn’t list, your comment would be....nothing new( the insinuation being that it’s not “growth”.....nothing more than a re-capture of status quo)?
We still might have some Pan Am guys here.....using your metric, if we picked up round-the-world flights, it would be “Nothing new”?
At the expense of being called an out of touch company cheerleader, I’ll just say.....”It’s good, I’m glad to see the—————!”

So I'd say that the 767-400 is going back to it's old flying, we'll see what the -200s do next.

The crux of the whole “argument” is not the semantics of what it’s called. The meat of the matter is, “Is international flying increasing, decreasing, or stagnant” ?
The answer is....it depends upon what your metric/time frame is
From where I started it increased from a new hire, prolly decreased after Pan Am merger hey-day, increased prior to bankruptcy, decreased after the DL/NW merger........and now increasing from about 2015. Like I said....to me it’s relative.....but (the good news) is that Delta is increasing international airframes, which I applaud.
