Ugh, I don't know if I can republish any announcement on Deltanet.
So let me rephrase it - despite what the Dow Jones Newsire said, there are no plans to retire the MD-88 or MD-90. They are the "workhorses of our domestic fleet."
The 100 new 739s are to replace domestic 752s, 763s and A320s that were to be retired over the next 7 years.

Don't know about any airline evacs, but the NYC mayor just ordered the mandatory evacuation of all residents in flood zone 'A' (about a half million people). Both JFK and LGA are in zone 'B' and would be the next to get evacuated. For those who don't know, LGA is all built on landfill....it used to be Flushing bay. The only part of it that wasn't built into the sea is where the MAT is located. The original shoreline is where the Grand Central Parkway is now. Those huge pumps that you see along the side of rwy13/31 keep rainwater and seawater out of the airfield. Even worse off will be JFK which is built on an inland estuary and faces the incoming storm surge. The 12 inches of rain won't help either
The real problem for New York is that the Mayor also ordered the closing of the public transportation system tomorrow at noon. Anyone who knows New York knows that the city grinds to a halt without the subway and busses. I would venture to say that the overwhelming majority of the airport workers use the system and will not show for work tomorrow if it's not running. The bridges in and out of the city will shut donw when the wind reaches 50kts.

WOW! Glad I'm not going to be anywhere near NYC then. Sounds like it could become a madhouse

FWIW, Delta just announced it's cancelling the entire schedule out of LGA/JFK/EWR on Sunday.

Slow, before you start throwing stones, that verbiage is directly from DeltaNet, the Press Release and the Q&A. So that someone is your employer. 
Until we see organic Delta growth via pilot hiring above attrition levels, all this excitement is just about shiny new jets.
They are nice, but that's it.
I sure as heck hope we will grow between now and 2018.
Realistically though it's more likely the growth will come from another merger
Cheers
