Jeremy,
Some updates for your list. All the MD88s are now painted. 757, 601 just got done. 616 and 652 are now in Song colors. 614 will be the last to be painted into Song next week. For the 738 fleet 373 through 379 are now done. In the next two weeks 386DL, 389DL and 390DL will be in for paint. As for the the 732 and 733 the internal list is being updated. We have retired quite a few in the last few months and they are all still on the list right now. For the 767 fleet 156DL is in paint right now.

DALMD88,
Thanks for that, DL's really painting em' quick!
Quoting RwSEA (Reply 10): As the MD-80s are being re-painted, are they bringing back the old Widget or are they still putting on the new/old "rounded" widget logo?

The "new" widget looks like a frown. There are plenty of frowns going on at DL already to have the damn logo frowning...about time they went back to the old one.
Twinjets...if one fails, work the other one twice as hard!!!

I believe the ex-WestPac planes (947WP, 948WP, 951WP, 952WP) have been withdrawn from service.
Anyway, seemed like the vast majority of ATL was in the new colours yesterday. Saw a few 757s that were in the old colours, a couple 737s and a couple 767s, but everything else (about 90%+) was in the new livery. I'm going back through ATL on Wednesday evening and next Sunday evening, and I must admit it does look a lot better than having the old mix of everything at ATL.

As for the 737 retirements I don't have a list. They are still showing up on inventory and I havn't kept a personal list of the ones we have sent in the last couple of months. At some times our dept would have five or six sitting on the ramp with titles blanked out waiting to go. Many sat there while we fullfiled the terms of end of lease agreements. I do think most of the West Pac ones are gone.
