We all liked refueling against a KC-10 as well. All those lights! It was like docking the mother ship.

Difference is that we are the pilots with sole bargaining authority with DAL. If that was not the case, you would have a point, but we do and they do not. We would have to allow it. The analogy is apples and oranges.

DCI carriers bargain with their companies, we bargain with DAL. Huge difference than a divorce where you both bargain with a judge.

I think in that instance whoever gets them later will have the advantage. Supposedly the A models aren't meeting specs and the true cost including financing is at or above the cost of moving peeps in 76ER's with winglets on any route that massive range isn't an issue. I think we are waiting for the bugs to get worked out as well as for the second gen 787 (-900?) to come out as it supposedly has much better numbers financially and odds are far better reliability issues up front.

In addition, I'd hope we got a pretty penny for our very generous decade long deferral as well as several years worth of compounding penalties we were owed as well. I'm sure the 737-900ER's were deeply, deeply discounted and possibly other deals in the works like very favorable 717's and/or 777's or cheaper 787's down the road. If we were really smart we'd lock in bargain prices in today's dollars for planes to come 5+ years down the road and pay those puppies off with inflation funny money.
