What if DL picks up the 767-400s from UA (or more likely if from its leasing companies … not sure if they are owned by UA or not) … 16 gently used airframes on an orphaned fleet type … I’d bet RA would have already made that deal … EB not so much.

I’ll make the unlikely black sheep prediction: UA 767-400s plus the Qantas 717s makes DL’s biggest growth fleets of 2025 the 767-400 and 717.

Plenty?

That's 32 TATL & Pacific flights systemwide outside of AMS/CDG/LHR.

How many do United and AA have?

Well, ERs aren’t wide bodies so he didn’t lie?

Both UAL and AA are single-manufacturer widebody airlines. Why so much consternation about us trending in the same direction?

Because it’s not a 787. I don’t know what’s the hard on that airplane. Same as the 777..,meh, give me a tray table any day!

Just off the top of my head, you missed

ATL - MAD
ATL - GIG

I’m sure there are others.

Plus all the summer destinations you don’t have listed.

UA has a larger WB fleet, that’s not in dispute, but we do more than most think.

And we should do more. Hopefully the global scope provisions address this.

You’ve got be missing a bunch. DTW only has 3 long haul routes? Also, GRU, LIM, and EZE are not TATL/TPAC

How could you forget JFK-DSS….the crown jewel of the network!!

No kidding. I don't get the 787 lust, especially if it all pays the same. I think the 350 looks better, especially the 1000

Good grief....Why do you post blatantly wrong info just to make a point. It's a disease on APC.....

Here are tomorrows departures from DTW. And it's not even summer when it Europe really ramps up.
