Delta CVG ER

Well if we can fill em up, which I am sure we can (even at 130 a bbl oil) they have the lowest cost per seat. Em facts do not lie. In fact they can be cheaper than a 777, even more so when the lease is slim to non existent.

Sweet!

You obviously don't work for DAL (or for that matter any other airline). If you did you would know a "contract is a contract" isn't worth the paper it's written on. I'll buy the fact the Boeing may owe DAL a couple hundred mill, but that still doesn't cover the cost of 6-8 refurbished 744's does it??

That was a play on Leo Mullin's favorite quote, "A Contract is a Contract." Do you know who he is? Just because I fly an RJ doesn't mean I don't follow mainline or legacy news. And, maybe Boeing owns Boeing Capital, a leasing company, which may have some used 744s on "cheap" leases available. Are you a ramper, BTW?
