I heard the 2 Jan thing. I was just speculating that this might finally be the big AE (MOAB) folks have been talking about for 5 years. Maybe MOAB Lite, but with the new categories and prepping the ER for summer flying (and hopefully some backfill in other areas that haven't been feeling the love), should be some significant movement this time.

The MOAB is never a MOAB if it's predicted to be a MOAB.

Why buy something else when you can keep flying what you have, ready to go, now...
Who knows, maybe the next bid will have awards instead of displacements on the whale...

Can someone explain to me why Delta doesn't have a sub-forum. United, Southwest, and American all do. This is the largest topic (over 24 million views) and we still have to search through this whole thing to find threads from a few days or weeks ago. I don't get it. Anyone out there know why it's done this way?

The economics of the 747-400 have been pretty well covered. What oil prices don't resolve is the operational difficulties imposed by an anachronistic type. The 747 seems to have fallen from grace following a couple of high profile diversions and unscheduled maintenance events (apparently handled very well by the crews BTW). There is also the issue of thin margins on routes the 747 was flying.
The 747 is a beautiful jet and it's easy to be nostalgic.

I too would like that surprise.
