Unfortunately we are currently reducing capacity somewhere around 4% YOY.
Alaska otoh is adding jets, growing the fleet nearly 20% in the next 4 years, increasing capacity 8% YOY. That growth includes parked 737-400s.
At Delta we have been adding MD90, but we've been parking DC-9s. The MD90 can carry a heck of a lot more pax then even the biggest 9. With reduced capacity that means fewer pilots required, pilot neutral for modest capacity growth...
As announced, our big 737-900 order is also net zero for the fleet count.
Some say, we might not park all of the 757, or that the mythical 717 will be added to the fleet. All we know is that those are rumors and the fact the Delta carrier adding jets and pilots is called the Eskimo.
Cheers
George

(1) Getting EWR off the list of NYC airports might be worth a comment on the contract survey. Make C.S. figure out how to get you across the river.
(2) As a shrinking, stagnating, outsourcing airline there are just some things that result in asking the magic 8 ball, "is that worth it" ?
Noted that loyalty is reciprocated. Hey, maybe management would have better luck getting one of their preferred operators for "Delta" flying to cover that trip.

From: Lowest Pay I Could Find
SWAPA considers our Duty and Trip Rigs to be the strongest in the industry, as they protect pilot productivity and efficiency.
• Minimum Daily guarantee is 6.5 TFP; Ex., a 3-day trip pays a minimum of 19.5 TFP .
• Duty hour rig is .74 TFP per hour, minimum.
• Reserve guarantee is 90 TFP per month; but actual months pay average around 105 TFP .
• Reserves are allowed to pick-up extra flying.
• Holidays pay 150 percent.
• Open Time trips pay up to 150 percent.
Please take note here....THREE day trip in example....not four.

and remember 1 tfp = 1.13 hrs. so 6.5 tfp per day is actually a 7.345 min day.
