Heard a rumor today that they may retire more 757's without a replacement. Will delay hiring for another two years. Anyone else heard this?

Nope. 150 739s are coming. 11 757s are slated to be parked between now and this time next year.

I'm hearing the opposite. In fact a newsletter from the 757 leaders today just stated that only 11 757's are being retired between now and 2014, which is way less than the original numbers that were being thrown around.

That to me says that the 737-900 aircraft that are coming will be more growth acft than just replacement acft.

I believe that is the misinformation program to get compass and pinnacle pilots to apply elsewhere. An easy way to not have to accept flows from compass and waste money on interviewing pilots whose mec did a end round the Dalpa contract

Well as someone (who I believe is a DL pilot) said, Delta doesn't want to strand a flight and a bunch of pax on the other side of the world due to a flaky pilot. I'd guess that same burden is placed on management types, because their decisions are so far reaching.

No, that doesn't happen?
