We have 100 737's arriving to replace the 757's. in addition 25 of the 757's that are planned to be retired are all ready parked and not in revenue service. If Delta purchase 40 additional airframes via the two new RFP's we will put into service over 240 airframes in the next 4 years. We also hold options for 30 more 737's. the fleet plan has us parking 85 757's in that period. There will be some A320's parked in Addition to the 757's however the net gain in airframes should be around 130 hulls. That number includes the 90's not yet in service.
My question is how many 90's are left to be added? Also interesting that ATL concourse A&B have freshly painted lines for the 321

Our new gates in San Diego have a321 spots as well. So that's like a dual verified bi-coastal rumor confirmation. SAN a321 pilot base while we're at it. Why not?

I have some friends that fly 321's at other carriers. They say they are pigs and have issues going east coast west coast. Can anyone in the know confirm or shoot this down? I figured with a plane with a decent size cabin shouldn't have issues with that. Maybe there are different engines that might be better than others
