Is Delta Parking Mainline Airplanes?

Time will tell. Go listen to the Investor Call. Listen to all of RA's comments.

A330 guys are operating all on overtime.....due to increased utilization.

the 737 deals were old news.......all the 737's we got in the last 3 years were orders FORCED on Delta that were placed for original delivery between March 2002 and Sept. 2005. I think 30 or so that we placed orders for in 1999 and 2000 were sold off the minute we took delivery and in fact they were painted like the company who bought em first.

"The company got drunk on RJs and the hangover is killing them."

I hope UAL gets "TOO DRUNK" and starts feeling the "HANGOVER" sooner rather than later!!!!

Well it is true. DAL has around 700 RJ's and cannot get rid of them fast enough.

But, they are alcoholics and keep doing it despite the bad memories.

OR, the top 2/3 of the list are alcoholics who can't kick the habit and management is the liquor store that has daily specials of buy a fifth, get a fifth free. The top pilots don't mind as they're "getting something for nothing" and management still makes money on the volume, despite slowly killing its customers.

The need for more pilots.

Well at least someone has figured it all out...that was good.

Delta was the 1st to make the Scope mistake in the 90's with RJs, then called SJs. Maybe this is the beginning of brining back more mainline jets.

Lets not forget American refusal to a one year contract extension that would have had them flying the 70 seats and dropping the sick out multi-million dollar fine. Just saying.

When did the BAe-146 commence service under United Express?
Didn't that precede the RJ at DAL by quite a few years?
