Maybe the increased gross weight will allow us to put 50 seats and bags (and organic British cat food) on it. ��

Consider that the BA 318 does a tech stop westbound.

Private jet service with Delta one suites would sell, especially if it’s priced to be a status symbol. Come fly with us and get to know your fellow 1%ers.

Trying to wrap my head around delta doing a premium international service instead of having Virgin or someone else do it for us...

They get our 330-900s and we get the 220-100s, seems like a fair trade. Positions not size is our standard right? Stand by for new JV production balance language. Although... a D1 suite would be an improvement over the 7ER curtain seat for rest.

Either way, this aircraft is capable of that route...

I read it the same way. A token order from a major airline to get attention at Le Bourget would be worth giving away the "upgrade" on the planes we already ordered

More like .1 or .01 %. The 1%ers are still operating airplanes for Delta, not flying as a passenger on Delta Private Jets

Hey all, how long could you expect a new hire to be on reserve on the 220 in NYC or SLC? Seems like it might be a while?

Thanks!

A lot of new hires seem to be going to NYC 220 so I'd guess not that long there.

Ok, I’ll bite. What is the net worth number or annual salary that puts you in the 1%? I don’t think I am that close but here’s to hoping!

I’m thinking $250-300k gets you into the 1% of income earners. Probably will take you a while, at that income level though, to get you to the 1% net worth level.
