Jump to postexactly. Airbus said as much I’m curious if DL is operating the A339 as such with a lot of JFK and BOS? I would think they’d want to replace the -300s operating out of SEA and PDX.

Jump to postUntil Boeing gets their act together any Delta 787 order is likely dead in the water. For those asking what will replace the 767 fleet, look no further than a potential A330-800Neo order.

Jump to postThat's exactly correct - about 30 less TATL frames with the full 763 retirement, maybe a little less. There are 52 firm orders inbound between now and then, and 20 more options.
