Hi!

Flight Times:
I met a guy with 48,000 hours. The highest time guy in my 1st mil flight school flight had 24,000.

Thats an average of 1000 hrs for 48 years.
Or 5 1/2 years of your life flying an airplane.

You do math! Great job!

I think we will all be surprised at how quickly the 747-400s go away.

I agree, the B747-400s will go away or become freighters but the question is when will Delta have a real fleet of B777s to cover all of our flying. OUR flying now includes NWs large Pacific network as well as Delta's current routes. UAL has around 50 777s and 30 B747-400s. So my question....how many B777s will Delta have on the property after all orders have been delivered and when is that final delivery date of the last B777?

Many more to come, FBN.

well, Delta evidently has N numbers reserved with the FAA for up to forty-five 777s. I would bet there will be enough new 777s to cover the 747 fleet. How many 747s do you have?

There are what 16 744's. Yep we have Forty-five N numbers reserved. Watch this, it may go to Fifty-two.

It's supposed to, but it was also supposed to be out November 20.

It is the calm before the storm.
