I'll operate whatever Delta wants to pay me industry-leading compensation to fly. I suspect customers prefer riding in an Airbus, but they definitely prefer being early over delaying or canceling for maintenance.
Just my opinion but delta mechanics are what makes all of our fleets reliable. No matter what the manufacturer

That could very well be - I don't know squat about maintenance. But in conversation some months ago with an OCC fellow in the maintenance world, I was told there is a notable difference between Delta's 737s and Delta's 320s (same maintainers, right?). 737 couldn't be beat.

It's the genius behind not having an EICAS. Something could be broken -- but you'd never even know it.

Ditto for hot brakes. Hot Brakes - no problem, just remove the brake temperature gauge. Problem solved.

You are correct. You can spend that xtra $50 and (almost) get your favorite FA a PS4 game. 😁

I get a phone call, a text and an ARCOS notification. Pretty hard to miss the phone call.

thought I read a memo or bulletin about a requirement to have 2 or 3 days off after a 8 plus day trip. Can not find it now.

FAR 117.....8 days is long enough TAFB combined with 60 degrees( I think).....doesn't matter how long you were overseas......Typically 7 day trips don't require the 3 nights in your bed ....UNLESS...they are FRMS

You can find it in content locker FAR 117 rules

So there I was on a deadhead in the middle seat of the last row when I was reading the in flight magazine, there was a section on our 321s. It said we were getting 127 321 and that we had 127 neos on order too, was this a typo or has something changed I thought we had 100 on order with 100 options
