The RFP when it was put out stated first deliveries in the last quarter of 2017. That matched the first planned 747 retirements. I have no idea if the change in retirements will impact the RFP schedule.

You're too stubborn to admit your shilling sailingfun. I get that. Delta pilots' share of the JV's EASK's has gone down while the Euro's share of the EASK's have gone up. It's not arguable. It's fact.

Spin away, the floor is yours.

Your aircraft types are all on the money, the numbers differ depending upon who you talk to, some add up to more than 50. However, the used 777 numbers are always 10.

I'd just caution that anyone who knows (if anything has been decided) is under a non disclosure agreement and would either keep their mouth shut (best option) or make up something that wasn't at all correct.

Almost everything in APC land is arguable. That's what makes it so darn entertaining sometimes

This is my second Sunday off since football season started, my wife and I are in Ft Myers for 4 days (without the kids for the first time since my oldest was born 6 years ago) and we picked up carry out so we could watch Da Bears at our condo...and this happens. I should have taken her out on a proper date. If the Bears actually won when I wasn't watching, I'd think I was bad luck.

On a related note, the Packers are going to retire Jay Cutlers jersey after the game instead of Brett Favre.
