1) How many of those DAL aircraft on order are slated to replace airframes currently on the property?
2) DCI is 100 aircraft smaller....what was the change of gauge of the DCI makeup? How many of the smaller 50 seat RJs, which do not directly replace mainline flying, left the DCI property, in exchange for 70-76 seat airframes arriving, which DO replace mainline flying?
It's great if 200 50 seaters left the DCI property. Whats not so great is when they are replaced by 100 76 seat aircraft that parks 100 aircraft at the mainline.

What is your thought on "Outsourcing is an abrogation of seniority" ?
I am aware of Delta's orders and thankful for them. Would be nice if we had 787's to replace the 757's instead of 737's and MD90's. Anyone know how NWA had intended to deploy the 787-8? Just curious.

sure the 739s will be coming in soon but they'll be replacing airplanes already charted here.

Those C Series are nice looking airplanes. I'm a little concerned that some of our brethren will not be interested in flying them because it doesn't say Boeing or Airbus on it though. After the Compass give away I don't know what some of those more senior guys want
