No offense, but I think you missed my point.......btw we virtually Never did delayed starts at FDX, and had to stop the jet and set the brakes for the Cap to touch the FMS or FCP.......worried more about path than fuel !
.....can't speak to the MD in the pix.

Delta, Boeing revise 787 purchase deal
October 25, 2010
Delta and The Boeing Co. have finalized an agreement regarding Delta’s purchase of 18 Boeing 787-8 aircraft, originally ordered by Northwest Airlines.
Under the agreement, disclosed Monday in a quarterly financial filing, Delta remains a 787 customer, and will begin accepting the aircraft at a rate of six per year starting in 2020.
Under the original order, Delta was going to start taking the aircraft in 2008. Boeing was unable to meet the original delivery date, which is why the agreement was re-negotiated.
Delta has the youngest widebody transoceanic fleet among the major U.S. carriers, with an average aircraft age of 11 years

Surprised to see that they haven't changed them to the 787-9s. Also, no mention of any compensation for late deliveries. I saw something a while back about a monetary settlement, but no numbers. Has anyone actually seen or read the details of the settlement?
