George,

What does a 767-300 hold in it's current configuration?

757-300 = 224. That is with the last "section" with a reduced seat pitch (dont know what it is). Was told it's, first class, coach class and flip flop class

767-300ER (intl) 217 pax and that's without lie flat beds in business elite...

the international business elite product has a larger seat, it doesn't compare to domestic "first class"

fwiw

767-300 (dom) 262 pax
757-200 ER (intl) 174 pax
757-200 (dom) 183 pax

the 757-300 is missing from the fleet page?!

Cheers
George

That and the 9's would be a lot of the fleet.

George,

Interesting, thanks. Our 757s configured with the lay flat beds on the AMS flights and now on the NRT - BKK run hold 160. 16 Bizz and 144.

Don't know why the 757-300s aren't on the list yet. We (good way to say that now) have 18 off the top of my head. All are ETOPs and mostly do HNL or a west coast gateway to a hub. Nice flying jet........but the FAs hate them. That and it takes forever to load and unload with the single isle, why the 767 is better.

Long story short, the 55s can't have winglets (or at least not without a big mod) due to electical issues at the wingtip.

I think the 5500s were gonners (long range) even premerger.

If you take the DC-9 30's and 40's and the 5500 block 757's how many airplanes do you have? And the follow up is what is/are their replacements

I think the number of our flights is wrong but that is what they have on Delta.com.

I count 50 5500 block 757's. That is a lot of large metal to park.

Yes this is very loaded question. I am trying to verify some info.
Although nothing official, there's an interesting thread on A-net about this. Might answer your question.
