Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

As of now, we'll have 82 of them by 2019. We currently have 13 or 14.

I don't know the delivery rate. Very rough math says we should get about 20 per year until delivery is complete in ~3 years.

How about 320/319 retirements? What's the latest? I know the 319's that are staying are receiving "good-as-new" interiors.

I know a PBS bid result isn't official until it shows up in DBMS, but has anyone ever had a PBS line (1 award trip and 2 coverage awards) turn into a reserve month in DBMS?

The joy of being the plug. Any ideas what happened?

The 320s are receiving a similar interior treatment!

The FAs hate the bins. When you walk on one, you know you've got the new interior without even seeing it because they immediately start whining about it.

Not sure which plan I have, but I never pay more than $5 a month for easybid + easyswap.

Great, recently went to LAS in a 73-9, beautiful interior, came back on a 320...really dated and uncomfortable.

The pilots in the cockpit have the opposite experience between those two aircraft. :D

I hope that if we ever get new uniforms, this guy that designed the new FA and gate agent uniforms isn't allowed within a country mile of that process.

Worst uniforms I've ever seen in my entire life. What a joke. They're going to be the laughing stock of the industry with those idiot looking colors.

I certainly don't like them but they are far from the worst. You must have been hired after the prison matron gray uniforms!

The 757s are nice both front and back. Even if there are seats stacked everywhere but the lav. And the radios are any of an assortment... and the radar ...and the ACARS ...and the terrain display, and...

Still the best airplane I've ever flown.

Shh... don't tell the Mad dog, she keeps trying to get me back. If only she had treated me better, that relationship could have worked. The ex will always haunt, now she says she'll make it better because I was right and could control the relationship. She is sexy when she begs. Planes can change, right?

There's still that little voice in my head saying, "don't do it you know it will be good for a little while but she is who she is and that will never change"

She's gotten a lot wealthier since we broke up, maybe... just maybe???
