Charter Flying
Hello,
DL has a massive sports charter presence with the MLB, NHL, and NBA, however with the expedited retirements of the 757/767 soon how will the charter side of Delta's operation fare? I know the NBA ordered 321's to be operated by DL, but 13 airframes seems like a small replacement number. Will charter ops be relinquished to other carriers? Interested on thoughts.

I think the neos take over in about 18-24 months. I’d have to dig up the press release.
also, you can visit charter desk in occ (coordinate in advance), and they can chit chat about charter ops

I’m sure the company will at least seek to maintain, if not grow that side of the business.

Oh, it’ll be affected. When Delta retires the ER from passenger service, do you actually think they’ll stand up an entire category of pilots, instructors, FA training curriculum, additional resources, etc to service a minuscule fleet of privately owned 757 that do a very small amount of flying compared to the normal operation?

It must have felt good to grandstand.
even if all the 767s get parked it seems reasonable that the 757s will be around for a while. Even if they just fly regional legs from ATL, I think they’ll be a cash cow for network. Beats the mad dog every day of the week.
