Like Timbo pointed out, some of those ATL767As who got "closed" were mega-senior.
Some big MD hits were absorbed by some of our most senior widebody captains.
Guys got bumped off the 777 and the big bus and the 765.
Here's the good news for us bottom feeders--
Wouldn't surprise me a bit to see a few of those boys decide to retire rather than sit in the schoolhouse this summer.

$4.3B widebody order on tap, mixture of Airbii and Boeing, 330 & 777.

We recently read about how Delta ordered $1.2B worth of airplanes...but not flown by Delta pilots. Color me skeptical that this widebody order is growth vs. replacement or outsourced lift.

That's the low end of the list. Look what happened at the very top.

Question for anyone--Is there any way these would be given to Virgin Atlantic?

I'd say with about 99% certainty these are for us. (nothing is ever 100%)
