Delta, Boeing revise 787 purchase deal
October 25, 2010
Delta and The Boeing Co. have finalized an agreement regarding Delta’s purchase of 18 Boeing 787-8 aircraft, originally ordered by Northwest Airlines.
Under the agreement, disclosed Monday in a quarterly financial filing, Delta remains a 787 customer, and will begin accepting the aircraft at a rate of six per year starting in 2020.
Under the original order, Delta was going to start taking the aircraft in 2008. Boeing was unable to meet the original delivery date, which is why the agreement was re-negotiated.
Delta has the youngest widebody transoceanic fleet among the major U.S. carriers, with an average aircraft age of 11 years

What would make more sense is that if the flight time duty limits change airlines could eliminate the "3rd man" by having an "acclimated" crew base for the longer west bound flights to the US and with the shorter east bound times non augmented two man 10 hour legs become the norm.
If there is any truth to this rumor I would bet it's because the ATA is looking at ways to increase our productivity once again using the change in the FARs that are supposed to make us safer. ALPA national needs to get its act together and take a strong stand on this issue.
