Wow, 22 aircraft deliveries through 2009 and a 15% increase in international flying.

Delta Pilots and Flight Operations Professionals,
Below find the text from the most recent Flight Operations code-a-phone.
"As our domestic economy continues to slow, the real bright spot in our business plan is our continued international expansion, which should be on the order of approximately 17% through the remainder of this year.Over the next 10 days Delta will initiate service to China and make our long awaited entry into Heathrow.We will continue to support this expansion and will continue to take delivery of 22 international aircraft through 2009 including B-777-200LR, B-757-200ER, and B-737-700s. In fact yesterday, at 4pm EST, we took title to our 2nd 777-200LR, the aircraft arrived in ATL just before 5pm Friday afternoon."

WOW, your company can continue to increase its debt load while its projected to lose A LOT of money. That's great, I am sure those plans are set in stone and could NEVER change. Get real, your company is just as susceptible to increase fuel, if not in more trouble. In case you haven't figured it out yet you dont have some DAL double breasted canopy protecting you from the current issues no matter how many, "projected" aircraft you "may" get.
The real kicker would be if these announcements and aircraft are actually being planned already for the combined carrier. think about it :bomb:
Again we are all going to be caught up in this mess so we might as well get on the same page now whether we like it or not.
