We are starting to see action on the 170-190 seat RFP from 2011 with a aircraft order for the 737-900. Also hearing rumors about the NEO Airbus.
Nothing on the RFP on the 100-120 seat replacement aircraft. Is this because management cannot find a suitable airfrme, or is it the this catagory of aircraft will make a highly effective bargaining tool? Allowing managemnt to keep our mainline rates lower with the promise of the aircraft coming on the property, or converesly, higher rates toward the top as long as the aircraft are flown by Delta sub-contractors? I already know which way I will vote in each scenario.

It is a welcomed change, another improvement/modernization. Now if there was a way to do more stuff on one page without as much clicking between menus with one specific parameter...
UPDATE: Played more with the new layout, HUGE IMPROVEMENT.
Everyone is gone, must be off looking at vortex generators...

23 of AMRs 757 were delivered 2001 and 2002.
I would imagine those leases are mostly the original leases and relatively expensive.
Some of those 757-223s were part of the first tranche of rejected leases (N177AN is a 2002 delivery)

One question about the new format. Does anybody know whether the reserves available will be a real depiction? Will it still show a guy that returns at 0500 as being "available" If not, it is still pretty useless...

Johnso, it's not really that bad. I heard every line in the book about how loud the cockpit is, in the end I went back to a Plantronics earpiece. The newer 737's with the VG on the nose are as quiet as a 320 with it's hurricane force recirculation fans. As far as the size of the cockpit, PITFA small... I can't wait until the airside manuals go away and we actually have a place beside us for stuff. Being up there for 5 hours....
