Blah... blah... blah... WGAS.

The real question is who sells us the printers cartfidges for the 1960s dot matrix printers?

They have a castle in the south of France for sure.

What we know for sure is, the 747 fleet is shrinking, and the A350 replacements won't be here for another year or so. The A321's are replacements for the 757's and the A330Neo are replacements for the 767's and or 767-400's and eventually the 777's as well.

I just flew our oldest 777, I think it came on line in 1998, so in two years it'll be 20 years old, just in time to be replaced by an A330Neo.

We'll all be speaking French before we retire!

Oui oui?

I read on here that the 350s were going to be cancelled and replaced by used 777s. I took to the bank. Cashed it. It was here. I remember who said it. ....

I remember who said a reputable source had whispered that DAL had accepted ALPA's "second opener". I went big on a second lake house and new ski boat.

Non, non. The crew who takes the last A350 to VCV will fly out on a Maddog.

All the more reason not to budge on scope. DAL mgmt wants nothing more than to be a very robust domestic airline, that has very, very little organic/widebody international flying. All we see now are 737-900s doing SEA/LAX TO HNL and extraneous 757 European flying from places like Philly, RDU, PIT, etc

Guys need to clue in and look how small our widebody fleet is compared to AA and UAL. DAL mgmt wants to have less widebodies, because that means less bodies to hire and pay. That's one reason they tried to sell our 777 rates so much....DAL mgmt could pound their chest and say how much they pay their pilots. It's all smoke and mirrors...DONT GIVE UP ANY INTERNATIONAL SCOPE

And don't forget the AS Marketing Agreement. I know, things have changed but DAL tried!

Yeah, that's a favorite trick of realtors and boat salesmen...float a bogus rumor of coming wealth, make a sale, collect and keep the down payment, then repeat. The same house or boat can be sold many times!
