A few interesting things in DAL's SEC filing yesterday.

Go take a look.

One was a 2015 fleet of 796 jets and DCI at 425. (Currently 730 mainline jets)

hi honey. I'm at the store. I'll be home soon.

1 to 3.75 was the NW rig. The rig at Delta is 1 to 3.5.

I was SLEEPING:mad:, like most people, during supaflyguy's posts. Reading your posts after waking up early to get the kiddo off to school reminds me of my wife B.C. (before coffee). A.C. (after coffee) she turns back into a human with patience! Supafly loses one point for late night questions and expecting a quick answer. He loses another point for not including underboob in a post after 11pm.

Acl's post, on the other hand, puts a nice big smile on my face. How many bodies would we hire for 66 mainline jets? :):)



Ps here are 65 underboobs
Underboobs (65 pics)

trip rig 1:3.5
duty rig 1:2
average daily credit per flying duty period 5:15 per day (this one does not apply to reserves)
minimum per calender day 4:30 average per day

CVG;

My dos centavos...scour the cvg craigslist ads for a bike. I bought a backup trek mountain bike that was basically unused for $150...aluminum frame, front shock, disc brakes and dusty. No shipping headache. Trek fits my geometry. Another brand may fit yours.

I think you need to bid the 777 to free up a captain seat on the -er. I think Newk agrees. In initial training you have to remember one answer to get thru the electronic oral..."automatically.":D I went to school 5+ years ago and that had to be the answer to 1/4 of the test. They've probably dumbed it down since I went since the pass rate is higher now.

Off topic: Just finished the book "lone survivor" I couldn't put it down. When you begin to lose faith in America, this book helps restore it.

I'm pretty sure the app window just recently opened so make sure your stuff is up to date...Hear that Boomer?

How many 737-900s are being added in that time?

It doesn't make too much difference since the 737s are slated as replacement aircraft but with this little growth I wonder what else is being parked.

88 717s added
16 MD-90s added
= 104 added aircraft but the fleet is only going up by 66.

How many DC9s are currently in the system?

I thought that was a little odd too, but I imagine they are being conservative, its the prudent thing to do. That may be the "real" number as of this week, but those plans seem to change every month or so. Don't want to tip our hand to other airlines if there is a change in the works.:D

Thus far I am placing a "cautious" trust in this management team to make smart moves that will strengthen the enterprise, and a strong enterprise is able to increase and sustain a profit with that growth.

The July 1st Fleet Booklet (posted on Deltanet) shows 722 mainline aircraft of which 19 are DC-9's.
