The article is kind of vague as to what fleet it’s replacing. Any ideas?

Meh. I think this is way over emphasized. I don't think there is any chance DL will become an all Airbus airline. We will always have Boeings and possibly other manufacturers (even the "Airbus" 220 is an Airbus in name only).

Basing major career decisions on the theoretical ability to do a short course many years down the road, thus saving a couple weeks, is pretty silly.

Yup! I based my decision upon the lameness of yokes, and the quaint 50's-ish overheard panel of the 737-900.

There’s a not insignificant number of 320/757s that are hovering around the 30 year mark. By mid-decade they’ll be on the Logan’s Run track.

That's actually sound reasoning.

The oldest airplanes in the fleet are A320's @ an average of 26.5 years old. Logan's Run, what a reference.

They can take the first 50 320's whenever they like.
