Can we get some of their flight attendants to staff it as well? You know, because we're hiring FAs, it would just be easier. Then I'd be in for that.

They’re taking the B744s out of the desert. Expect to see the AE in November.

It's like that scene in Apollo 13.

That's exactly the kind of rumor I expect to hear going into negotiations. We don't buy and sell airplanes, management does. The fleet plans are what they are, and will be what they will be. I seem to remeber a fleet of 717s, E190s, and 737s contigent upon PWA signing. NOT.

Just curious. The rollout of the 717 was predicated on remapping our regional airlines. That required Delta to renegotiate numerous long term contracts. Do you think the regionals would have agreed to simply slash their fleets absent a agreement to allow them to bring on bigger equipment?

I can't imagine the negotiating levers Delta would have pulled to get what they wanted but I can imagine them getting it done regardless. Interesting how you don't address the other fleets. I think those reading the thread understand my point.
