...even more so because it pays more than the B767-300 which it would likely replace. 😁

Agreed. 7ER needs to go ASAP. It's not a competitive International product anymore. And it pays less

I’ve only been here 4 years, but I’ve learned to love AE rumors. They’re entertaining!

Delta DOES make money in cargo. I see Korean Air Cargo 777s all over the place.

While I agree with everything except it needs to go ASAP it’s only not competitive because they refuse to update the interiors.

Outstanding. Let's get rid of a big part of our widebody fleet. Really really smart. And almost every 7ER I have flown has been full, so people certainly ain't booking away because of it so your comment is moronic.

How bout if we use some of that 6 Billion in profit and the stock buy backs to upgrade out fleet?

If that is what Trip7 is saying it might not be moronic....might be worth considering. Pretty sure he wasn't suggesting deep 6ing the 76 fleet with no replacements...at least I hope not🤔

How about replacing them with 787-8s over the course of several years? Roughly the same capacity (especially if outfitted in the new 4 class configuration) I have no problem replacing the ER with something that pays noticeably more. 😁

A full airplane doesn't mean that people aren't booking away from it. It could just mean they have to charge less on flights operated by that aircraft to fill it up. It takes more than load factor to see whether people are booking away from it.
