Because 127+796 sounds promising.

The question all should be asking is why hasn't network published the CY 13 block hour plan?
And ergo, no AE yet.
And ergo, no AE yet.
Not saying that's why, just saying it'd make sense if other businesses are waiting then why shouldn't a business dedicated to servicing them wait.
Or they just hate us.
I have no idea.
Great news!
HIRING UPDATE
"Hiring the next generation of pilots is one of the most important jobs of the Chief Pilot’s office. Giving each applicant a fair and equal opportunity to compete for an interview slot is the job of my team. This past spring we opened the application window for seven days and received nearly 2,200 qualified resumes and 780 letters of recommendation. By the end of the year, we will have hired 96 pilots.
"Last week, we announced that we placed firm orders for 50 new aircraft and have options on 69 more. This is obviously good news for hiring, but it does not make the selection process any easier. At this point, we have far more qualified applicants than we have jobs. If you have recommended an applicant please encourage them to attend hiring events like WIA[sic], OBAP, EAA, and other job fairs around our system. This will give them the opportunity to interact with our hiring team.
"I am very grateful to everyone that has written a letter of recommendation, dropped off a resume, or has put in a good word for an applicant. It is my pledge to you that my team will work hard to find the most qualified pilots. We are looking for those pilots which not only have the technical expertise, but those that will also be a good fit with our company values. I ask that you please be patient as we move through this process. We are at the start of a long hiring cycle. For new applicants, please let them know that our window will open again in the first quarter of 2013. Once again, thank you for your help in finding the best pilots."
Except--that's at Alaska.

Just like this...
I'll bet if one particular candidate is elected, then the Dow will rocket 1,000 points in one day on Nov. 7th as businesses unleash their business plans that have been on hold for a year or more.
Nice...
Maybe you can challenge the data and conclusions, or are you so weak-minded that you can only resort to ad-hominem?
You can always select the "ignore" function if I'm disturbing your comfortable version of reality too much.
BTW, the fleet forecast calls for 796 mainline jets in 2015 (up from 740 in 2009) and an increase of 127 mainline jets by 2017, while the total Delta+DCI fleet shrinks by 26. That means that net of any deliveries DCI shrinks by 153.

I guess 767 jets on December 31, 2008.
Or 725 jets right now with 566 at the regionals. That's a net change of +3 mainline airplanes and -28 regional jets in since July.
Wait, well that's not exactly correct.
We currently have 980 mainline jets. You have to now count 51+ seat jets as mainline and 50 seat and below as regional. Per the Q3 Earnings Call yesterday we now know >50 seats is mainline.
So maybe the 796 jets comes from a reduction of 184 jets . That'd mean we'd get rid all of the MD-88s all of the A319s and 10 other mainline jets . That blows.
j/k
So take them at their word. There are two distinct paths that will be taken in January 2013 and businesses need to plan accordingly with their capital. And Delta serves business folks.
So as well know indecision is the key to flexibility so why commit to anything for another two weeks?
