Wait.

In the C12 sales push, DALPA told us ALV+15 was only going to be utilized in international categories.

So you're admitting DALPA either 1) ineptly interpreted the ramifications of the contract, or 2) lied.

Which is it?

According to Delta's 8K we have 743 mainline aircraft as of December 31. That's up from 717 mainline aircraft in 2012.

Oooooooh yeah. I like that rumor.
Sploosh? Either you're a new hire (young) or you're exaggerating just a bit

It's a rumor but the source is impeccable.
Time frame?

Is the 'next edition' of the 787 out yet?

I know Richard pushed off the 787's NW had on order, until 2020, but those were the first edition jets with all the problems, the ones Richard said of; We don't want the first edition of anything...

So...are the longer 787's already flying and being delivered? Or has Richard changed his mind on the First Edition 787's?

Oh, and what about the 787 Fence? Remember, those 787's that NW had on order were also fenced, and the 5yr. Fence doesn't come down until Jan. 1, 2015, so if indeed there are 787's delivered to Delta prior to that, my guess is they will be fenced for the NW pilots only.

Too good to be true.

oh snap, i used the same 588 number twice! So this is awesome, it means we have do have now as many mainline aircraft that we had in 2001!!!!!!

We had 1016 then plus 36 AVROs, or 1052.

Now we have 1026 domestic (743 ML -12 DC9s + 295 JRJ) and if we can add the additional 30 CR9s/E175s and 77 more 717s... we have 1133 mainline jets!

MORE THAN 2001!!!!



I used to worry about the 88s going away, but now that they're getting the new cockpits they'll be here for a while too!

787's would have to be on the property within a year for the fence to make any difference. What's the likelihood of that happening?
