The PW1500s in the interim need to stay out of trouble too.

And the -700's are brand new in airline years. The -800's are middle-aged. They are not going anywhere.

Anything built in the 2000s is still a baby in Delta world. That includes the 319 fleet.

That makes the newly arrived airplanes... fetuses in Delta world.

Then why all this talk of the 717s going away? They just be entering the best years of their lives.

No one likes T tails in management.

Or the leases are expiring and it may depend on the next deal whether they are kept or not.

Because we don't actually own them, but instead lease them from Southwest, and I believe those leases are expiring in the next few years.

The leases are expiring. The only reason we have them is because we got a good deal on them. If I remember the rumor I heard correctly, Rolls-Royce wants to drastically increase the cost of the engine program.
