Quoting Dbo861 (Reply 2): Was I just seeing things, or did they take "Shuttle" off the Delta Shuttle aircraft in the new paint job?
No, you weren't seeing things. It's no longer in the new paint scheme. As I stated in the July thread:
Quoting Pilotboi: I think it's just part of the whole "single brand" stuff. If you notice on the new delta connection planes, the connection part is lower and not next to the Delta logo. Also, the operator's logo is smaller (ie the ASA logo near the nose). There is no reason they need the words "shuttle" on the planes (versus the connection ones that are required to), so I imagine they are just going to leave the word off, but keep the ships in the shuttle config and continue to offer the service.

N911DL is not a Shuttle aircraft, was it a normal DL MD-88?

Or possibly N911DE, which is a Shuttle aircraft?

Yep, a mistype on my part. Sorry people... Plus I just re-went through the list and realized someone already pointed out 911 a few days ago! Maybe I oughta read the thread before I post!

Is there an estimate how many a/c will receive the new livery each month?
It's obvious they are working on doing the 75Xs first. Is this because they were going in for checks or were there just many Ron Allen schemes left that needed to be done?
It seems they are moving much more expeditiously converting schemes than UA is.

Last year, Delta was doing an accelerated repaint of the Song livery 757s. This year, Delta did an accelerated repaint of the Ron Allen livery aircraft. All mainline Ron Allen livery aircraft have now been repainted, however, I believe that there are still two Comair CRJs that are in Ron Allen colors.
Currently, it seems that Delta is doing a fast repaint of the Delta Shuttle MD-88s.

Not really sure. Another unusual suffix for Delta along with the 767-400ERs' "MH" suffix.
The MH suffix for the 764ER was actually based on a Boeing registration, as the first 764ER built was registered N825MH by Boeing. Contrary to popular belief, the "MH" on the 764ERs does NOT stand for "Mullin's Holdings." They are outright owned by Delta.

Quoting A388 (Reply 18): Will DL also order more 73W's?
I wouldnt be surprised. In a recent interview with the Manager of Flight Operations Engineering for DL, he called the -700s a pocket rocket or something similar, so I wouldn't be surprised if DL ended up getting a lot more -700s.

I'm not sure of the exact dates, or even months. But there are 6 more left for 2008 and 3 for 2009.
Quoting SESGDL (Reply 21): Is DL still painting aircraft, haven't been any new ones in a while besides the new 73W deliveries?
I'm sure they are painting, probably just a bit slower then when there were still Songs and Ron Allens left. But the main thing that has stalled this list is that people just aren't spotting them as much. It's harder to do it because we see the new colors so often. We need to compare every one we see to the list to see if it's a new one, which takes time. The new deliveries are easy to spot obviously. Other then that, it's mostly the people in ATL at TOC that know exactly when new colors roll out of the hangers.

Quoting A388 (Reply 23): Thank you for your reply. RobK, Flynavy and 1337Delta764 might have more info on these delivery dates/months. Any tips are welcome of course.
Unfortunately, I don't know exactly when each one will be delivered, however, I know that ships 3103-3107 are slated for delivery before the end of the year, and ships 3108-3110 should be delivered in early 2009.

25 A388: Thanks so will DL have 4 73W's by the end of the year or 8 as mentioned by Pilotboi? What other routes are planned for these 73W's besides TGU and SX
26 Pilotboi: Neither. It will be 7. 1337 said exactly what I said. Here's the lineup... 2008 (7 total) 3101 - already delivered 3102 - delivered as of a few days
27 A388: Okay I see it, I misread the reply. It is all clear now. Do you know on which routes these beauties will be used? A388
28 Pilotboi: That I do not know, lol. I don't track all the routes and which types fly where.
29 A388: Okay, same here. I've only read they will be used on South American and Caribbean destinations but so far only TGU and SXM have been announced. I am
30 Flynavy: Bermuda (BDA). I would also expect UIO and/or GYE to become 73G destinations.
31 Flynavy: You sure like going off on tangents, don't ya? Added the first EMB-175. Also, Freedom Air ERJ flying has been loaded back into the schedule so someon
32 A388: I understood from another thread that UIO/GYE might be just outside the range of the 73W. Can the airport's higher altitude also play a role a 73W AT
33 DALMD88: All deliveries are on the last day of the month. 3103 9/08 3104 9/08 3105 9/08 3106 10/08 3107 10/08 3108 7/09 3109 7/09 3110 8/09

35 Pilotboi: Interesting. I'd like to see all the business people fight over the first class seats. But really...I assume those would charged a premium.
