I suspect the lease company wanted more money than Delta wanted to pay. The lease companies had a rate thrust down their throat from the bankruptcy and now I suspect they think that Delta should be paying market rate for the aircraft again. NorDelt doesn't agree. Unfortunately, I suspect that the lease company can get more money leasing to someone else. Who knows someone will blink but I doubt it.
ALOT of work must be done to the aircraft before they are returned. And that work needs to start now. Engines changed, starter/generators tracked down. The AVROs took a long time to get all the parts in the right place.
More 200's -- maybe. Delta has a bunch of Comair 200's sitting around gathering dust.

I think we are already over-staffed the way it is and with PBS coming in October this doesn't look good. (100 furloughs due to the 10 Saabs with another 100-150 due to PBS and current overstaffing situation.)
I would like to think that Delta would excersize their options with Bombardiere for airplanes and XJ would get them. .
