Stupid me, I meant 70 large RJs and 110 mainline between now and 2016 for a total of 180 mainline jets (that's any jet with two class cabin).

They will park 150 50-seaters and add the larger regional jets in the next two year period, having a 50-seat fleet of 100-125 jets.

They will retire 50-60 mainline jets at mainline Delta, leaving a net increase of 50-60 mainline jets at mainline Delta.

The Airbus order of 40 jets will be added between 2015 and 2017 btw.

In 2013 Q4 they will park 41 jets and add 27 which will actually increase capacity 1-3% on 14 fewer aircraft.

He sounded exceptionally well-rested.

Sorry I cannot answer your question specifically but thought I would throw out a little sage advice on what to study after you view the thumb drive. Look at all the stuff but concentrate on the LOD document. All the test questions will come from that. I went thru the course in the beginning of this year.

General observation, but if our CEO was to get 10% raise in one year I think we deserve more than we have gotten! See page 9:

Oh, and Mark Zuckerwhatever is a *****!

You know that the fleet plan is on DeltaNet, right? You don't have to keep making stuff up.

Through 2015 there are 88 B717 and 50 B739 deliveries. That's 138 right there. Only 40 CRJ-900 are on order during that timeframe.

Those other 30 76 seat jets should have been ordered by now. Perhaps they are not coming? Maybe that's scope recapture in 2015.

Okay, question for you, where would that put the bh ratio?

40 firm orders and 30 options.

Fwiw CRJ900's backlog shows only four customers: Delta Air Lines (40) and Adria Airways (1).

If they only take 40 new 76 seaters and retain all the other 76 seaters there would be a total of 193 in the system. That provides a MBH-DBH of 1.35.

The table is in section 1 of the PWA.
