Re: Delta Air Lines Fleet - 2023

Not much of a difference in seat count between the 339 and the 359 hence the speculation that DL would need something smaller, closer in size to the 763. That's a lot of seats to fill and may limit your destinations when your smallest wide body has 262 seats.....

No. Unlike the path of the T4-TBIT connector, there is a lot of infrastructure associated with the baggage handling systems along the path of a hypothetical T3-TBIT connector.

It will be. They'll be very little fanfare because the configuration is absolutely terrible. It'll also be flying without wifi. What's the configuration on these ex-Lion Air ? They are both on DL’s website. The 73J is 12/6/162 (yes, only one row of Y+) The 73R is 12/24/137 The regular 739 is 20/21/...

PR could easily get a lot of 789s for cheap as there are lot of ex-Norwegian parked in the dessert. No need to buy new expensive 338s when they can get better long haul planes that are already built. But I don't see PR adding any planes at this time.....
