Well crap, which of our many newsletters and updates did that come from? If so, I'll eat crow.

Edit: found it and that sucks.

how many of the 300s are T models?

There are ships 1601-1613 but I'm not sure if each one is a T model. I think at least 1607 and up but not sure on the others, but about 7 it seems.

This site seems to confirm 1607-1613 are the same model 'C36Y172' whatever that means.

so about 12% of our 763 fleet is getting parked early. Good to know, thank you.

I'm sticking on the fleet at least through the summer but after that change might need to happen on the next AE. Bummer to see its been fun.

only a few of them

I don't think it will drop below 12000. Trips are too good and payrate is significant boost from most FO pay. NYC717/220 will likely be in the 12500-13000 range

Can only comment on what my experience was which is a data point of 1.


There were a couple straight out of military guys that needed some ET around that time but they all got on the line no problem.

The guys who said such to me thought it was tough to learn two airplanes while learning Delta procedures.

I didn't have an issue, but I spent most if my pre Delta Navy and Civil flying being multiple qualified. 60s and C12s, King Air and JetRanger, T44 and T34 etc.

yeah, having trained both on the fleet new hires generally show up more prepared than anyone else

Shouldn’t be an issue now that we are parking the 76Ts. Airbus will be the heavy fleet soon. Aside from a few VIP charters the 7ER will continue to wither on the vine. I think that’s why BS sees new hires in the 330.

we are only parking a few 76s, that has nothing to do with the fleet plan for new hires.

parking them in lieu of a few other airplanes...the gulf air birds are going to charters instead of being parked so it's still a net loss but doesnt sting as much.

those airplanes will be parked when they come up for heavy checks. Not sure when that is but I don’t think it’s imminent nor will it be all at once.

True, would be nice to have a schedule of when that might occur. Time to make some friends in maintenance. For those of us west coast ER types the flying is going downhill, not commuting to NYC again though.
