How are you inferring from my comment that I said "NWA only had 17 DC-9's at the time of the merger?"
I forget the total amount of DC-9's upon Single Operating Certificate, January 1st 2010, but it was still less than 88 Boeing 717's, if you want to use "merger synergy metrics." (I believe the number was in the vicinity of 59 Douglas [dinosaur] -9's.)
My point............boog is stating that there is "NO" growth in the 88 Boeing 717's coming to mainline. I was just attempting to understand his math. No worries if I'm missing something, I dun attendud publik skool myself.

Gentlemen, I hate to interrupt such scintillating repartee, but does anyone know if Hank the Mumbai Pharmacist is still in the biz. Or have the local authorities shut him down?

How can 88 Boeing 717's, replace 17 Douglas DC-9, and that not be a net positive amount of airframes? (Yu go two publik skool?)
Delta will be receiving in the timespan of the next five years, 88 Boeing 717's, 100 Boeing 737's, 30 Airbus 321's, 10 Airbus 330's, and (possibly) 50 widebody aircraft.
The list has "shrunk" in previous years due to the economy and merger synergies. Do you honestly think there'll be no positive progression in the next five to ten years with the number of airplanes coming to Delta? (Bar, is that you?)
Anyway, continue to post your "Eeyore" dribble, if it makes you feel better. Are you constantly afraid of being struck by lightning with that cloud hanging over your head too?

I don't disagree with you, or boog, that the Boeing 717's are replacing the DC-9 mission at Delta Air Lines. That has zero bearing on the fact that they are not growth airplanes!
Richard Anderson, from the time he was CEO at NWA, stated he had a desire for the ~130 seat lift the DC-9 provided, there was just know good, used, cheap-enough alternative, until the "darling" SWA, bough AirTran.

Does it mine existing data for you (Jan-Mar) or are you on your own for that? What about current data; is it manual data entry or does it auto sync?
