I think RA is positioning Delta to be THE domestic carrier. He recognizes the threat from the ME carriers in the international market and though hasn't thrown in the towel, I don't see Delta really going head to head with them and therefore no need to buy the widebody airplanes. We will fly what we have not till they are scrap metal, but we probably won't be renewing them or expanding our international fleet to well. On the other hand he might be just waiting for the 350 to put some pressure on Boeing for the 787 and 777X.

It is behind us. I'm not dwelling. I'll pass on the steak. Now if you would negotiate with the company to re-instate ATL-BOM, I'll take you up on some butter chicken at Leopolds.
So you are saying that the Delta pilots made the decision to negotiate with Gary Kelly for the 717s. Ummmm no. Management made that decision. I will agree with you that we made a choice as to the methodology that would bring them onboard, and I agree that they would probably would have come on to the property regardless, but it was not our decision to buy those airplanes nor how to deploy/base them. That is Gorman/Dickson that make those decisions with a healthy dose of Anderson influence. All we can do is negotiate a price to operate them.

We can argue till the cows come back to Capistrano whether or not we took a concession to get them, but my point in this particular discussion is in regards to making any decision to buy/lease aircraft. We... are... not... involved.
