That question is like someone asking the price of gold and oil in 5 and 10 years. Delta once opened a L1011 base in LAX, closed it and then reopened it 6 months later.
The 757/767 is currently scheduled to be on the property until the late twenties. The 757 side of the house will stabilize for a while at 90 airframes.

5% in NOV plus just over 10% in FEB. Exact amount will be out next week.

Hey, for all of you - should that be y'all since it's Delta? Anyway... for those laying over in DTW starting today until the 25th, the North American International Auto showing is going on at Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit. Which, happens to be very close to the long DTW layover hotel.

Check it out. January 12-25, 2015 - North American International Auto Show Open 9am-10pm. $13

What else are you doing to do in downtown Detroit in January?

Well, again, look at the picture. One engine. Thus, F-15.

If it had two engines it'd be a C-12, like this Army C-12:

Besides, with all of the A-7s they have on back order why in the world would they want to destroy one?

Are you sure that's not one of our new 737-900's in the landing flare?

From my seekingalpha email this morning---oof!
• Among airlines, American (NASDAQ:AAL) should not suffer the cost headwinds related to mark-to-market hedge losses, unlike peers that hedge jet fuel; Delta (NYSE

AL) can expect a $2B hedge-related loss, Southwest (NYSE:LUV) should see a $500M loss and United (NYSE:UAL) a $200M loss.

When I was a mid seniority MD11 F/O, this would happen all the time if I was lucky enough to get a TOE trip and be the 'senior' of the two F/O's. The way I put a stop to it was, I called the number one F/O, and swapped with him, after I saw that the douche F/O had swapped with the more junior F/O and I was going to have to go, vs. stay home. My buddy, number 1 F/O, got to stay home and I flew his trip, the best trip in the base. Douche had to get the trash bags and water bottles.

^^^^ THAT is how you get 'er done! That F/O will think twice before he tries to stiff arm you next time.
