Well, in 1992 we had 6 year guys flying DC9 and MD88 Capt. Without the huge retirement wave you are going to see in the next 5 years.

Mr Kreeger signalled that the competition on transatlantic routes would hot up as the carrier planned to add seven new flights between Heathrow and major US cities, taking its peak daily services to 39 from the current 32.
Virgin was also enjoying better returns from its new Boeing 787s, the first of which began operation in October. It now has three of the more fuel efficient long haul passenger jets operating from Heathrow to US destinations.
The group, 49 per cent owned by Delta and 51 per cent by Sir Richard’s Virgin Group

We already own 49% of Virgins 787's!

Last bid had at least one that I know of, and I think it was a few more, 07 hire's make CA NYC88. We're at seven years. Seven and change anyway.

It does not show qualifiers though (I want to be 50% up the list, etc) so its not always the most accurate way to see if you will hold a certain position.

That and Boeing was a bit arrogant on the details thinking we had to have the longer range on the 787. The Airbus price on the 330-900's going to Delta I also heard was beyond low. I had hoped we might pick up a few more near term IGW's since Airbus just slashed production rates 40% but I guess not.
One interesting thing about the Delta fleet plan. AvWeek just posted the costs to operate most current aircraft types not counting employee costs, just fuel and maintenance. The 737-900 was the lowest cost narrow body with the 737-800 in second place. The A330-300 was the cheapest widebody although the 787 was not listed yet.
