Wonder why this article is on the front page of DLNet.
Boeing takes orders for 10 777s in latest week
March 4, 2011
The Boeing Co. received orders for 10 777s and lost orders for two narrowbody 737s this week, Reuters reported.
Boeing said on its website that the 777 orders include two previously announced from TAM, Brazil’s largest airline. The customers for the other eight 777s were unidentified.
Airbus said this week that customers canceled more Airbus aircraft than they bought in January and February, the company with three net cancellations, the article said.

I wouldn't read too much into it! The news section of DLnet always has those articles posted, and it rarely is when we purchase any aircraft and then only when it is a done deal. They don't usually hint and anything...

Many hours flying night freight in the Beech...she was a formidable and unforgiving beeeotch at times....hoped to use that tailwheel time at some point. Always drooled over the Mother D 3.....visited with the museum peeps about her last summer and got the feeling of apathy from them concerning her. Wad told it would take 50-70 grand to get her in the air again.... It needs to be done and I have an idea to get it going if anyone is interested..... Drop me a PM and I give an outline.... Think this would be a good "come together" moment for Delta Land. May have to overcome some political fences to make it work....
Just put some better rules on who gets to lay their hands on her. SUCH AS, active line pilots only with XYZ amount of tailwheel time.
Or take a small small % of what DALPA sends to ALPA National and get it flying again.

Anyone have tips on booking One Great Team passes? It looks to me like most of Europe for this entire summer has little to no availability. I guess 10 seats per flight goes fast, but they must have blocked off popular destinations (like FCO) for significant amounts of time?
And, unless I'm missing something, the only way to see whether a flight is available is to look for a SLIGHTLY darker radio button and try clicking on it. My eyes hurt from looking at the screen! Delta technology rocks!

I think Charlie Sheen is only legal in California. Where I live, we have a task force set up to bust Charlie Sheen labs. Unfortunatlely, some Charlie Sheen is still getting through. When I was at walmart the other day, there was this morbidly obese woman wearing camo with her bra exposed and her hair was really greasy. An obvious multi day Charlie Sheen bender.

FtB;
You can want that and over time it may work to our advantage. Problem is that all of these increased pilot costs will be pass though costs which will become DAL's burden, not the burden of the third party airline. Since it will be part of the required staffing model, DAL will pay for it. As as a result, that is more money out of DAL's pocket to third party airlines who have contracts and floors to their flying.
