Default last Delta B777 flight....

Looks like the last scheduled passenger flight on Oct 31.

Sad to see her go. Seems like just yesterday when Delta got these planes

Sad day indeed. Beautiful in every phase of flight.

By far the best designed bird I ever flew. A true pilot’s airplane (except maybe for that dang yoke). Thanks for the memories.

The last hoorah. Get rid of the junk and merge with allegiant already. All the writings on the wall, no idea why everyone’s acting oblivious to it.

Unfortunately the writing was on the wall for the past decade’s worth of townhalls. Every other major, if they operate 777’s at all, will have 50+. We had barely 20. I can’t count the number of times RA stated they were “not the right fit for our network.” We’ve always had a hard time making large widebodies work. We’ve left that flying to AF/KE/KLM.

This just confirms it.

Perhaps. But we are supposedly going to 39 A350s. That’s more of our largest WB than even 747+777s. Not a lot more, but something. 🤷🏼‍♂️
