Another thread covers this, but the New Guppies rumor was true:
" We are continuing to move United forward and announced today we would take delivery of 40 new Boeing 737-700 aircraft, which will enter the fleet beginning in mid-2017. These aircraft give our customers the experience they want with first class seats, Economy Plus and Wi-Fi, while enabling us to reduce 50-seat flying."
(Company email this morning).

15% and the company is smiling all the way to the bank. We'll get them next time. You're right though. This thing probably will pass like bad gas infused with hot sauce.

I use DAL out of Seatac a lot. Their international hub doesn't look like it is doing very well. They have pulled back frequencies to Asia on every route they fly. I think Star Alliance has the PNW market locked up with Air Canada, Air China, ANA, and Asiana all flying to YVR and SEA. I don't think DAL stands a chance out of SEA, at least not to Asia.
Asia had an 8.6% revenue decrease on flat ASMs.
Atlantic was better with a 3.2% revenue decrease on a .5% reduction in ASMs.
There was also a RASM decline domestically.
The good news is that consolidated CASM (including special charges, third-party business expenses, fuel and profit sharing) declined by 10 percent to offset the RASM decline.
... especially if the car was given to them by the company. If the company gave everyone a sports car, they'd complain about how unsafe the car was. If the company gave everyone a Volvo, those same people would complain about how boring the car was. You can count on those same people like clockwork.
