Some of the newer -400s were delivered around 1996 0r 1997 so they are still relatively new aircraft with lots of life left.

FYI:

The two newest -400's have manufacture dates of March and April 2002. Four others have 1999 dates.

This according to the "aircraft fleet information" pamphlet dated April 2008.

And before anybody gets their panties in a twist, this is not a comment on the SLI proceedings whatsoever. Just adding some useless information to the useless SLI high school locker room-type brawls.

Atleast someone gets it...

I agree, I do not see the 400's going away for a few more years. They have a lot of life in them. The freighter conversion is a great way to keep em around. As many know, slots for freighter conversions are very tight world wide. With oil down for now, they will just find slots to do the conversions, but time is not of the essence.
The 300's will be showing up in the next couple of years. It appears that there will be some slots opening up on the 777 production line quite soon.....

I realized that I bad info. Thanks for making the correction. Does point out, however, there is a lot of life left in these aircraft and will at least be around until Delta can replace them with the B777, which will take some time.

What is a Mcdoosh? Just a bunch of letters. Tried to look up that word, but could not find it.

Dope means stupid and you respond to stupid.

[MCDU]

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?

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Many more to come, FBN.

ISo 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?

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?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

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