Sure can. If the plan holds true we have 230 more upgrades coming this year. That will be more than enough to get 17-01 upgrades off reserve and to a line that is fairly flexible soon. The poor QOL and stagnation is offset because the airline in again growing. This will be the 3rd year we have with double digit aircraft growth.

Just remember Rome was not built in a day, all actions have been carefully thought out to ensure the stability and survival of Delta. The variables involved are not apparent, so no use being the kid that didn't get what he wants when he wants it. This is a business, don't forget that.

Let the flame throwing begin!
