Delta Air Lines Inc. posted its first profit in years in 2010, and now it looks to reduce the size of its fleet, tackle its debt and fight fuel costs in 2011 through fare hikes and other methods.
That will be the message from Delta President Ed Bastian, who is scheduled to make a presentation to the Raymond James Global Airline Conference on Feb. 3. The presentation was pre-filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Bastian will say the Atlanta-based airline is set to reduce debt by $7 billion over a three-year period. It also plans to battle the spike in fuel costs through revenue, capacity and fleet efficiency. This will include cutting more than 250 small domestic aircraft such as turboprops, 50-seat jets and DC9s; adding 100 newer MD90s and two-class regionals.
Delta’s fleet in December 2007 totaled 1,482 : 693 regional aircraft, 169 international and 620 domestic mainline. As of December 2011, it projects a fleet of 1,318: 600 regional aircraft, 179 international and 539 domestic mainline.
With jet fuel prices jumping some 20 percent to $2.75 a gallon in just the last 100 days, Bastian will say Delta can fight those costs by accelerating the retirement of aircraft; raising domestic fares and tacking on international fuel surcharges; trimming capacity; and cutting capital spending to keep free cash flow at $1.8 billion.

That article is comparing the fleet from 2007. How do the new numbers compare to the fleet from 2010? If the info on APC is correct its a loss of 39 Delta aircraft compared to right now.

When they need to further adjust capacity the only remaining capacity they can adjust is mainline. We become the accumulator in the system with 90 days notice.
Not forecasting anything, not saying we're on fire, just pointing out the operation of the system so you understand the steps in the QRH. Hope we don't have to use it.Loyalty?

From the article:
I don't know how accurate these numbers are, but the addition of 10 Intl aircraft doesn't come close to making up for the loss of 80 narrowbodies. That's a boatload of jobs.

Let me do some editing here and show you a few things:
Delta to accelerate fleet size cuts

My math shows as of June they had 223 70+ seat jets, they can add 32 more so.
32 RJ's +30 MD-90's = 62 jets. Not all of those RJ's are announced either. They are only at 235 with the RJET announcement so effectively; 12 RJ's + 30 MD-90's = 42 jets
Right there Ed states 100 jets. There is a disparity here between announced jets and what he is stating. Like I said worst case scenario you still have 62 jets that are unaccounted for in the RJ limits and the MD-90 announcements. True?

Help!
I'm looking for where it's written that we will be given a seat in the cabin if bumped from a RESERVED jumpseat by a Fed, LCA, etc.
Anyone know where this is written? LOA, contract, FOM? I'm short on time and figured I'd come to the brain trust here.
Grassyass in advance
