In addition to those 330s and 350s, how many other deliveries are scheduled in 2020?

And 2021?

Thanks

Not really a fair comparison when you consider that the United States has approximately four times the population spread over approximately 15 times the land area vs the Netherlands and France combined.:rolleyes:

The link I had is not working. Here is what I posted before. These numbers may change again soon. Perhaps another type!

This is the updated schedule as of 15 Aug. We will now have 23 A330-900 aircraft on the property by the end of the 2nd quarter 2022 plus two more A350’s. I was mistaken that the two new incremental aircraft were A330-300’s from WOW. They are new A330-900’s from a lessor. We get 7 next year vice 4 planned.

The whole open skies agreement isn’t fair. You're making my point for me. We give them access to our country, and get access to theirs. We give more than 4x what we get. It becomes slightly more fair because I believe the open skies agreement covers the entire EU, but a joint venture agreement with KLM/AF, gives them way more than we get right out of the box. That’s why the production balance is so critical.



And to the poster who said they’d rather ten flights to AMS than serving 8 other cities, if you’re saying 10>8 so it’s better, I’ll buy that. But when you find yourself laying over in Paris, 3-4 times a week, every week, and enduring that long @$$ bus ride every morning on arrival, you’ve officially taken all the fun out of international flying.



AMS is much better than CDG or LHR in my opinion, and if that’s how Delta can make the most money, I’m not complaining, but the variety of destinations made International flying a lot of fun not too long ago. If we can hold on to some of the variety, while focusing on our JV partner hubs, I’d be ok with that.

Looks like in 2020 we have a net gain of 100 pilots by June 1st for summer flying.

Do we still have 88 different categories? This would be a net gain of 1.4 pilots per category?

How many additional aircraft by June 2020?

I guess we're going with more A350s...
