On the widebody side, I'd say just replacement, with the potential for some growth if the market will bear it. Too soon to make that call.

The 120 seaters though, what could that mean?

So they never really mentioned what aircraft will replace the 747. I don't think a re engined A330-300 can do the missions it does now. Again, many more questions raised...

Thanks for posting this.

From the horse's mouth last July: The replacement for the 747 will most likely be the 777-300ER. Of course that was about 9 months ago. The timing works out because Boeing will be trying to sell the 777XXX and maybe will be discounting older models or there will be used airframes available.

The problem with the Cseries is that it is a Bombardier product, if it had been a Boeing or Airbus product, you guys would be in training on it right now. Bombardier just doesn't support their products, and that's a huge risk for Delta.

If that's not an argument for Longevity based pay, I don't know what is....

Not Britt. His office demands two dates of service if you want something basic in addition to the Physical. For a cholesterol check his office wanted another day of my time and nearly $400. Even if you self pay they want a second visit for billing and are jerks about it.

Going to try FlightHealth Online

Ditto on Doc Harper. I drive up to see him. I get my Vietnamese Pho fix when I go up to Doraville.
