Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Wow, look at the cost savings analysts expect from the switch to 717's from 50-seaters. I think this exceeds the DALPA forecast in savings.

Delta to Add 88 Boeing 717 Fleet - Yahoo! Finance

Up to $750M in cost savings in 2013 alone.

Wow, $750 million and we will only get 16 aircraft and not until aug. imagine the benefit in 2015. :rolleyes:

But hey, it's better than watching Newk's video of Super playing pool.

I've always heard a rumor that having the radar on makes the birds avoid the airplane better.

Let's just say I dispelled that rumor last trip. :D

THWACK!!

The one benefit of a 22.5 year old MD-88, it's harder to get the birds into the front hole where the engine thingy spins around and around.

I was just curious, because he was making a lot of noise about how if this contract didn't bring him restoration, or didn't live up to his expectations that he would be leaving for SWA... I'm just asking if he still wants to leave...
