Does the A330-900neo burn less fuel than the A350 or 787!? I'm wondering why DL has a subfleet of the A330-900neo instead of more A350's. I think its because the A330-900neo is lighter than the A350. What about versus the 787? I'm trying to understand DL's decision making on the A330-900neo versus ...
Jump to postWN and AS would interesting. Just saying..
Jump to postYes, you are correct. There are currently 60 active 88s and 29 90s. The 88s are supposed to drop to 44 by the end of 2019. There are still 4 more A321s to be delivered this year and a few A220-100s.
Jump to postI really hope Delta decides to replace the older IFE on some of the 752s and 738s. I was on a 752 yesterday and so many complained because the touch screens barely even worked. Mine was stuck on the moving map the whole trip. It’s time for those screens to go.
Jump to postSupposedly the A321n begin arriving in mid to late 2020? When will the A321 deliveries be wrapping up- I presume around the same time? There are supposed to be 321s delivered into 2021 - well after the first 321neo. The last A321ceos will be delivered by the end of 2020. The fleet count will be at ...
Jump to postWonder why they didn’t go with the new A350 style interior bins like Delta has on their A321s?
Jump to postIs there an ETA on the new induction date? The shutdown appears to be over as of today.
Jump to postI also like the raccoon mask. Looks modern to me.
Jump to postI can’t say I’m surprised by this. I’ve never been impressed with the quality of the TSA agents hired at Atlanta.
Jump to postIf my numbers are right, they have 18 739s and 32 A321ceos coming in 2019. I believe they also have 2 A350s and 2 A330-900NEOs. Are those numbers correct? How many A220s are coming in 2019?
Jump to postDoes anyone know why 717 N987AT is sitting near the hangar in ATL with engines off and windows/doors all taped up? I’m showing it has not flown since September.
Jump to postAsk my company if it makes a difference. We pay extra just to fly Delta. The on board product is leaps and bounds above AA and UA.
Jump to postHas anyone looked at the number of deliveries they have coming in between now and 2023? I see no way the 88s or 90s are around by then unless they plan on growing the fleet by 75-100 frames. I'm making a prediction: 717s will be the only T-tail in the fleet in 5 years.
Jump to postI fly all the time and I really appreciate AVOD nearly 100% of the time, across the network. You're quite fortunate. Even if we assume all A320s have AVOD (they still don't), and that all AVOD is created equal (it's not with the old system unfortunately being recycled on some 737s/757s), about 60% ...
Jump to postThere wasn't one mention of skin color by the pilot. This is a case of someone not following the crews instructions and bringing race into the argument for no reason. I don't care if you are white or black: If you can't follow the rules and comply with crew instructions, you don't need to be flying ...
Jump to postI realize Delta is advertising the CS (or "a200" in the future) and the a321 as MD88 replacements, but aren't these a bit different when it comes to size? The a321 seems more like a 757 replacement, as it is mainly flying some dense routes (ATL-West coast, ATL-Florida, ATL-DCA, ATL-BOS......
Jump to postThey were forced to take 10 additional 739s per the terms of their contracts with Boeing. The original order was for 120 frames and it is now 130 with the final frames to be delivered in 2019.
Jump to postI think he is talking out his arse. Boeing isn't exactly sitting around waiting for DL and the 787 is a prime example. They have only sold what 500 and have another 700 on order and DL isn't one of them. He can talk all he wants, but until he puts up some green cash, its all talk. Besides, if I rec...
Jump to post[url][/url] Herb's little airline died after the AirTran deal. No doubt, they're still a great carrier, but the culture certainly changed some. I do believe WN has some of the best people. A lot of people in Atlanta feel like the qualities of AirTran died when Southwest bought them. I purposely avoi...

Goodbye 752's.
Don't forget they also have 45 firm orders for A350-900s. That may help replace some of the 763s. I know the A350 is a bigger plane, but my point is they already have a lot of wide bodies on order when you add in the 787-10s and a few 777-300ERs still to be delivered.
Jump to postUGA777 wrote:Jump to postIt seems like Delta is removing more widebodies than adding in the last year or two? Hope that trend doesn't continue. I flew a 767-400 from Den-Atl yesterday and was such a nice flight compared to the cramped 739s I usually get.

Jump to postThe 717 was not minimal for FL, it was the majority of their fleet. They had 88 717s and 52 737s at the time of the WN acquisition. Fleet commonality plays less of a role than eliminating a competitor.
Jump to postThey are using the 321s on some transcon routes right now. The 321 does ATL-LAX regularly. Yes, it may not have quite the legs of the 739ER without the aux tanks, but it's not a drastic difference.
Jump to postUnited did announce recently that they would be taking 3 used 767-300ERs this year, so that may answer the question of where they are coming from.
Jump to postHere is a solution to most of this if you want a better product that I can summarize in two words: Fly Delta.
Jump to postWhen will the first c series come on property now?
Jump to postI flew an A321 last month ATL-DCA. I believe it was #3021. I was surprised to see a huge chunk of paint missing off the nose. Is there a paint issue or was this a one-off situation? The aircraft is not even a year old. It depends whether the missing paint was on the radome, or not? Those get swappe...

A321T and LAA A319's are retaining their PTV's.
I think AA is making a mistake with the retrofits, but that's just my opinion. DL will have a better domestic product when all is said and done.

Jump to postI wish they would slow down on the 767 and 757 retirements and speed up on the MD-80s. The MD-80 retirement schedule seems to change almost monthly.
Jump to postWN recently cut all night flights out of ATL on the most recent schedule from what I can tell with the retirement of the 737-300s. I could not find any flights past 7:30 or 8pm at night. If true, that is sad compared to what Airtran used to offer. They really have cut ATL in the last few years. I ma...
Jump to postI'm probably in the minority, but I prefer the 737 because I like the engine noise on takeoff. Call me an aviation enthusiast, but the louder the better on takeoff. I purposely usually sit towards the back of the plane on a 737 to hear the loud takeoffs. It's fun to me.
Jump to postI fly extensively for work and I stopped flying WN a while ago for a couple reasons: 1. They are hardly ever on time and I could never rely on them to actually get me to meetings on time. 2. Their free bags campaign does not help if they lose your bag frequently. DL is not perfect by any means, but ...
Jump to postWhy didn't they get the extra fuel tank capacity? Can that be added to future deliveries? With over 100 frames eventually in the fleet, not all of them will be doing short routes.
Jump to postDidn't see this posted, but there was a tail strike on a Delta A321 about two weeks ago landing in ATL. Registration is N315DN, so the bird is only about six months old. It says there was substantial damage to the aircraft. Anyone at Delta have more details and how long it will take to get it repair...
Jump to postI think they have more than 151 737-800s now. There were a few delivered in the last week or two.
Jump to postDoes anyone know the delivery schedule for the remainder of the year? I think they are taking at least 4 800s per month right now, so that is still at least 30 aircraft to be delivered this year and I don't think that is taking into account the MAX.
Jump to postI'm calling BS. This guy was trying to stir up the passengers and gain more publicity through his video. He does this for a living, which is also sad. Get a real job.
Jump to postThey seem to be moving very slowly on the last 757-200 mods. There is only one of 17 currently in mods and isn't expected to exit until January. Are they still planning to mod all of those birds or could they be looking at an earlier retirement?
Jump to postAmerican MD-80. Although there were rumors a few might be sticking around until 2018.
Jump to postWhen do the final batch of 752s go in for mods? There is like 18-19 left, right?
Jump to postConsidering they are getting rid of the A333, they may use some of these on those routes. Would make sense to me....
