Nice find. Thanks for sharing

2026 looks to be an exciting year for Delta Pilots:

MAX-10(maybe) in Q2
A350-1000 in 2H
14 more 321NEOs for NBA in Sept

Getting a new large widebody seems exciting to me, especially 20 + options of them. As I did the math not long ago, we could have 180+ top paying jets in the fleet in a few years. (We had 31 in 2019).

Other fleet news for 737 drivers: IAN is going away. LPV will be the new non precision standard. Apparently we are the only carrier that still uses IAN

I was told at recurrent that the old LNAV/VNAV method would be the way.

The downside of IAN is the space shuttle-like approaches in hot weather, which lead to a high FOQA descent rate and long landing pings. LNAV/VNAV descent path is consistently normal.
