Any ideas as to which types will be retired? My guess is the 732s, 733s, 762s, MD90s. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong .
Maintain thine airspeed, lest the Earth rise up and smite thee.

Absolutely craptacular!
It's much ado about nothing.....
The only move of significance is getting rid of 6-8K employees---Delta has always been bloated. But it's likely management should make concessions first....
