With the arrival of 737-900ER's that can hold the equivalent of a domestic 757; does this make anyone else think that the 7ER category will return to its more traditional role of international flying while the 73N category will take over a lot of that domestic flying that has annoyed the vast majority of ER pilots of late?

The record is for the 757, not your DC-10 or the 747, both of which has hauled a LOT more out of those areas.

yes, that many.
the press release says:
or said another way:
I like new jets as much as the next guy, there's something special about that "new jet smell"
But for us pilots the deal leaves us with fewer, bigger, better-paying jets.
Cheers

the press release says:
"The order will enable Delta to add 100 fuel-efficient, state-of-the-art 180-seat aircraft to its fleet, replacing on a capacity-neutral basis older technology aircraft that will be retired from the fleet."
This order is not designed to grow the fleet or increase Delta’s network capacity.
But for us pilots the deal leaves us with fewer, bigger, better-paying jets.

It also means fewer ER pilots in that category...
That's why there's some angst in the smaller ER bases with few intl. departures like LAX, SLC.
