VR-46 is still a Navy C-9 squadron. They moved to Navy Fort Worth about a year and a half ago, and will be decommissioned here shortly along with VR-52. VR-52 was recently moved from Willow Grove to McQuire, AFB. Moral of the story...when the Navy moves an entire squadron hundreds of miles to a new base, sometimes into a brand new hangar as well, the shutdown is around the corner! VR-61, NAS Whidbey Island, will soon be the final and last Navy C-9B squadron.

Nice Catch - VR-46 was the US Navy C-9B squadron at Dobbins AFB which has now moved and I think also changed aircraft. I bet a ton af DAL guys have flown with that squadron.

Over the next 4 to 5 years Delta has 208 new airframes on firm order or already purchased awaiting mod lines. Those are all narrow bodies. They are planning a wide body order for the last quarter of this year. I would expect that at some point when the 900ER orders are ending a NEO or Max order will be placed. The economy will determine the retirement schedule of the current aircraft. Many of the 757's were purchased from 96 to 01 and are not that old. The 757 is planned in the fleet to 2025.
As far as fleet standardization Delta can't seem to decide what they want. 6 years ago they stated they could not survive unless they got down to 3 aircraft types. Then the merger with NW happened and now they are on a buying surge with the apparent attempt to purchase every oddball aircraft available.
I did hear once that at a certain point you max out on how much you can save on a given fleet's cost and that our fleets were big enough to max out on the savings. Or so they said.

Anybody know if 737-7/8 and 737-9 will be two different categories, since the pay rates are different? Or will pilots fly all 3?

Does anyone know if the 72 hour restriction for moving reserve off days also applies to using saved payback days?
Thanks.
Thanks.
