Delta guys,
In 2003, AMR parked an entire fleet of F-100's which resulted in mass furloughs. In 2007, UAL parked an entire fleet of B737's which resulted in mass furloughs.
As someone that is considering coming to the Big D in the future, what is the likelyhood that something like that could happen with say the MD-80's.
I know it is all unknown, but my biggest concern would be luckily getting on, and then gas goes up and a fleet gets parked resulting in mass furloughs.
Any thoughts?

Sure she's been around the block more than a few times and you'll probably more than likely catch something from her, but the old gal still has a few years on her.

and I think it's more like 6K in the next 10 (more if the stock market does well.)

(for comparison DCI is limited to 6% of hub-to-hub flights)
That's it.
Everything else is permitted.
For instance: Nothing in our PWA prohibits AS from operating an A330 HNL-NRT except the DAL code would be limited to 85 seats.
