Yes there will be 767 parked, however delta has still been pushing for the 797 which if it gets launched could replace those 1 for 1 and then some while the 321-neo replace the 757

I believe this is positive news
This one of the most if not the most historic days in the history of the Delta pilot group. The movement this will cause will be breathtaking. Plus the big bonus... Non Rev to places like Patagonia and Manchu Pichu might be easier

Agreed.
Delta essentially turned into LATAM’s J.G. Wentworth. 877-CASH NOW.

Absolutely not.

Spirit is buying us.

And taking our 321N with PW GTF engines and we will take 73-10s with GE engines as we ramp up our PW MRO business... for spirit. Internet said so.

The way the PW GTF is turning out no one probably wants them.

Bingo..

Things are still very much in play for a Boeing WB order.

This was good business to get these planes on the cheap and pretty quickly I might add.

I’m still not going to be surprised with a Boeing order in the next year that could possibly still replace the 350s in this coming decade. Lots of things behinds the scenes playing out. It’s going to be an interesting year all around.

787-9/10
A330-2/3/9
797

I for the most part agree with that. I do see how the 787 family could still replace the 350 however and eventually the 777-200s. The 350-1000 is the wild card.

Supposedly the 777 and 787 are close to a common type. I need to verify this. But could be huge for training costs.
