Nope, I kept them all. Sometimes we're told that not even the 739s are replacement so I kept everything.

That said, if anyone knows for sure what's slated to be parked I'll amend the 2017 column.

Hey, I'm just saying.... you've got a lot of words coming out of those fingers. I kinda glaze over after a bit and move along usually. I'm all about making the point and moving on.

You obviously are some sort of ALPA or passionate ALPA supporter. No biggie. I appreciate the lack of condescending tone that you've utilized unlike those that posted frequently in previous years.

btw the seat count is slightly off because with the 757, 763ER have multiple configurations for the same model and I just used 174 and 208 instead.

A number of those 757-200s, 767-300s, all the DC-9s, and some 320s are goners. That's throwing your numbers wayyy off.

You can't kill the DC9.

I'll amend it if anyone has the numbers. The thing is even if I remove the 9s and 100 757s, it's still 146 jets in growth. That'd be 2,000 pilots more than we have now before retirements not including NBC guys. Retirements adds another 800.

You know of any other airline called Delta Air Lines? The seniority list may show 10,144 pilots on July 01, 2001, but in January 2001, I was given a seniority number of 11,2??. Why is there a difference of about 1,000 numbers between January and July? I don't have a clue. Frankly, I was just trying to get through my first year.

That's closer. You still have all the 320s in there. 3209-3250 are on the chopping block. So, unless there is a life extension given for them, 41 of the 320s are gone too (I'm not sure what the parking schedule is).

Notice how your numbers are starting to come into plausibility?
