Interesting. The numbers on the flight ops website show about 3500 retiring in the next 10 years (through 2021), with another 3800 going 2022 through 2026. Looks like they're planning on some measured growth, or trying to get ahead of the 800+ retirements per year after 2020.
Maybe that double the retirement coincides with 130 739s coming on line within 10 years?

I heard a big rumor about CVG from an airport employee (not a DAL employee). Apparently someone is renovating some old gates there. They believe it is SWA. Anyone else here the same?

Rumors from the "big meeting last week":
AE first couple of weeks of Nov. smaller than expected, little shuffling of staffing only
Hiring not planned but needed to cover expected retirements so possible late 2012
An Extra 30 737-900 possible due to our outstanding options
Expect an order for 777's...no time frame but possible. Do not expect to see any 747-8/A350 at DAL
Numbers are going to be flat for the next 1-1.5 years due to economy. EU especially disappointing mainly due to economy over there, mainly Greece dragging everyone down
Pacific and South America doing well but need more,China will be the biggest economy in the world in our lifetime. DAL is positioning to be #1 there look for more JV's
Look for those said 777 orders to go place that we don't go...ie Malaysia
Lots of fuel hedging talk....should listen to the podcast from last week.
The best line of the day:
Richard see's no benefit of more animosity, he wants the contract done by the amendable date!
Just regurgitating what I was told.....

Those of you senior to me need not read this. The plane yells at you in a french accent and is SCARY because you're never really in control.

Having flown my first trip on fifi... We had better have had those piece of junk 737s handed to us for nearly free. The bus is so far superior to the 737 it is barely even describable.

If you got there 10 minutes early you'd be waiting for your gate.
They had to put in a third N/S runway to ease the congestion.
Now, not so much.
