Any guesses as to future WB in SLC? Something down the road to replace 7ER?

The 7ER will be in the fleet for another decade. When that frame times out, I wouldn't expect to see a WB base in SLC. I'd expect SLC to have the ER base for the foreseeable future. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.

Pilots retiring before they hit 65! That's excellent news.

As a break from tradition, I thought it might be good to have a thread on good things happening at Delta, just for a reminder for when we want to focus on the worst. Life is too short to spend mired in bad.

I'll start....

Yes, but can you deal with the awesome responsibility, the godlike power, the swooning F/As, the cheering passengers, and the kowtowing agents? Some new CAs crack under the pressure.

Holy crap! I need to be in your category!!! I am obviously flying for a whole different Del-duh than you are. (You have successfully passed random drug tests, haven't you?) 😁
