George,

What does a 767-300 hold in it's current configuration?

757-300 = 224. That is with the last "section" with a reduced seat pitch (dont know what it is). Was told it's, first class, coach class and flip flop class:D

767-300ER (intl) 217 pax and that's without lie flat beds in business elite...

the international business elite product has a larger seat, it doesn't compare to domestic "first class"

fwiw

767-300 (dom) 262 pax
757-200 ER (intl) 174 pax
757-200 (dom) 183 pax

the 757-300 is missing from the fleet page?!

Cheers
George

That and the 9's would be a lot of the fleet.

George,

Interesting, thanks. Our 757s configured with the lay flat beds on the AMS flights and now on the NRT - BKK run hold 160. 16 Bizz and 144.

Don't know why the 757-300s aren't on the list yet. We (good way to say that now) have 18 off the top of my head. All are ETOPs and mostly do HNL or a west coast gateway to a hub. Nice flying jet........but the FAs hate them. That and it takes forever to load and unload with the single isle, why the 767 is better.

I think the 5500s are gonners. Heard that at requal last year AND I rode with a tech ops type years ago coming home from NRT, that bored me to death with a slide show on 757s and winglets. Long story short, the 55s can't have winglets (or at least not without a big mod) due to electical issues at the wingtip.

I think the 5500s were gonners (long range) even premerger.

If you take the DC-9 30's and 40's and the 5500 block 757's how many airplanes do you have? And the follow up is what is/are their replacements ;)

How does this grab ya??


Delta Daily Flights: 1,369
Delta Connection Inc. Daily Flights: 4,571
Daily Delta + Partner Flights: 7,667

I think the number of our flights is wrong but that is what they have on Delta.com.

acl65pilot 04-03-2009 04:22 PM

I count 50 5500 block 757's. That is a lot of large metal to park.

Does anyone out here know which airplanes are not going to be painted? If so send me a link.

Yes this is very loaded question. I am trying to verify some info.

Although nothing official, there's an interesting thread on A-net about this. Might answer your question.
