Shack! This deal made good business sense.. it doesn’t validate the fact that Delta loves the 350.

Then we have EB and JG saying they’re happy with it...who knows

These will be positions for summer 2020. 7 330s coming next year instead of 3. Plus retirements next year on all WBs make those numbers look realistic.

Shocking that the 73 guys would pass a rumor of more 73s. We can only hope this isn’t true.

As for the 350. At different times I’ve heard network, marketing, and flight ops all say they liked the 350 and also heard them say they are disappointed in it. I guess we will see what happens.

And this is not including the additional 350 deliveries announced yesterday.

Lots of movement coming. One of these A positions dropping to a pilot in their 40s is not too far off
What street is that? Source? For one of those positions to go to a pilot in their 40s, the base would have to be NYC. Nobody wants to be junior on reserve in NYC.

You never know. There’ll always be guys chasing the pay rate.

I’m 48, hired in 2000. Still 3500 numbers away from the bottom A330 A in NYC. I just escaped NYC in June of this year on the A320.

If it hits guys in their 40s on the Nov/Dec bid, I’ll be surprised, but you never know.

I think he was referring to further down the road. Those hired young in early 2014 will hold WB capt in their 40s no problem.

Remember this is how we work as a company:

A) whatever we are doing is righteous and brilliant, until we change it

B) whatever our vendors are doing is frustrating and disappointing

SLC220A just went to a guy just past his fifth anniversary. I assume as these mega AE's continue, that will just keep falling. If that's the case, I and a lot of other guys will still solidly be in our 30's when we're able to upgrade. Heck, there will be some captains still in their 20's soon.

I don't know what that means for WB captains, but I imagine it won't be too long before we see some in their 30's.

Already happened. ATLM88A went to several in 20s couple years ago. There was an NYC320A at 28 or 29. 88 young guns later got displaced. 320 one I'm not sure. You're right, it will happen again soon. While Delta won't get to the level of carriers like Emirates and Qatar that have 380 and 777 Captains in their 20s, age demographics will change significantly over the next few years
