The biggest hold up right now is getting the program up and running. If you know any ATL 7ER leads, ask them what they have heard or who will be in the initial cadre on the 787, then ask if they have a training date yet.

I won't be the one to say, "I told you so." But let me ask you: If Boeing or another airline approached Delta with a good deal on 20 to 30 787s that they need to offload, do you really believe Delta would turn it down?

And years ago it couldn't do LAX-SYD the way they wanted it to. Other airlines fly heavies out of hot and high airports all the time. It seems like we're the only airline that takes an aircraft that seems to work wonders for everyone else and conclude that it "doesnt do what we want or thought it would."

Does United still have a 45 350s on order? What are the chances DL and UA swap orders?
There doesn’t seem to be any business case to bring the 787 to Delta, especially with the training flexibility Delta has between the 320/330/350 families. Not to mention Mx, overhead, etc, etc.
