Annual report will be out in Feb and list exepected deliveries. I'm guessing 50-60 total, so that with retirements is 1,100 or so. I'm more surprised AA is going full bore with fewer aircraft comin. As an aside, we are now largest air line in the world based on aircraft. United will likely pass us before end of the year, but we will continue to pull away from AA.

Ummmm, actually no you're not. Fleet counts off of Wikepedia or planespotters aren't accurate. As an aside, alot of your aircraft are replacement aircrraft, ours are growth.

Delta is net +50 for growth next year. The only things that must be replaced within the 2020s are half the 320s and a chunk of the ER fleet. Most everything else can stick around past 2030.

As an aside, the grammatical failures of your post lead to less trust that you’re basing anything on actual data vs. an emotional reaction to someone claiming their air line is bigger.

Just settle it with a sword fight, then you’ll no doubt know who’s is bigger.

Yeah I don’t care who is bigger, just thought it interesting. All will be revealed in feb with the annual report. I believe DL will be +50 for aircraft, including a solid slice of WB pie.

With the new PWA, any idea what is the rough pilot staffing requirement for each plane?

It's all different based on fleets/routes, etc. NB is around 5.5-6.0 crews per airplane. Not sure on WB.
