So if I read this correctly, it appears there will be 72 757-200/300s left. Assuming Delta keeps only the upgraded ones. Bummer. But it's good to see $$$ going into all of the A320s.

There is a possibility of keeping 10 additional 757's depending on the outcome of a long term charter contract under negotiation.

I was simply saying that guys who YS on days off do it for free. How you go from that statement to what you wrote I have no idea.

Your assessment couldn't be any further from reality, which is an indication of why you were unable to connect the dots.

Naturally, the retirement of the a/c they're not going to mod is flexible.

Dixon said 80 in the last flight ops road show I sat through, so 90 with the charter contract sounds right.

There go the nice wide aisles in the 319/320. If the seats go from 17.5 to18 they gotta get the space from somewhere.

Still though, I'd rather have the seat room for the hours I'd spend in it than have the isle room (in an already roomy isle) for the minutes I spend boarding/going to the restroom etc.
