Wonder if some of the 63-64 yr old Whale Capts will pull the plug now?

More likely displace into the 777 next year.

lulz..... No, I think when all is said and done the only crossovers on the existing fence will be one way.

You know... when half the biggest leaves... they gotta go somewhere. But the productivity crowd will be good with it, right?

ATL - 36
DTW - 25
LAX 0
MSP - 25
NYC -32
SEA 0
SLC 0

They said that they weren't going to backfill up to a combined 30 spots in DTW & MSP, but it looks like they got -50 there.

So, we look to be down 88 spots system wide after that if that's all the bodies they wanted off the fleet. Just depends on how tight they want to run it I guess.

Gotcha. Thanks.



Indeed. Time to see how it will apply to this situation. Maybe some used 777s are headed DALs way?

But it looks like tsquare is gonna be right.
It's now conceivable, maybe likely, that no former Delta pilot will ever fly a 747. At least not left seat.
