Jump to postDoes anyone know why the 764 fleet is rather underutilized this summer? Is it because of pilot shortage? For July for example, I have found the 764 on these routes, which are way under the size of the fleet… JFK-LHR (2x) JFK-MAD JFK-NCE JFK-ZRH ATL-LHR (2x) ATL-MAD ATL-MUC ATL-EZE (requires 2 frame...
Jump to postDL had to cancel 7% of their flights today. I strongly doubt we will be seeing any major adds for summer 2023. I wouldn't judge summer 2023 based on mid June of 2022. There's continuous hiring of pilots and flight attendants, and more planes being delivered. I'd be willing to wager we'll see the sa...
Jump to postThis is something that's been discussed as a hypothetical in here before. My first question would be, who will pay for it? Massport is already in the midst of some large projects at Logan. The already mentioned phase 2 of the terminal E expansion has been pushed down the road and probably won't see...
Jump to postI don’t mean to beat a dead horse, but why has Massport been so obstinate about adding customs at Terminal A? I can see why it might not make sense when DL had only a few international flights. But they’re reaching double digits now. From what I heard, when Terminal A was built customs didn't have ...
Jump to postI think last night DL had 3 763s (Dub, LIS, EDI), a 764 (LHR) and 6 333/339s (2x AMS, 1x CDG, 1x FCO, 1x ATH, 1x TLV). Maybe a FA base in the future? Delta already has a BOS FA base. Several years ago, a DL employee told me that the DL FA base in Boston was a "virtual " base, whatever tha...

I don’t know the history of the comp for flight crew, so I have nothing to add there.

And if there is a de...

Jump to postWill the 764 fleet become more focused on domestic routes as the A339s and A350s take over international routes?

Jump to postDuring the months of April & May, Delta has reduced frequency and downgauged equipment on DL101/110 ATL-EZE-ATL.

Jump to postDL will start flying PVD-MSP 5x weekly beginning June 6th and upgrading to daily on July 7th on an A320. That will be year round, they did add it seasonally last summer but was last served in 2014. Also, looks like CR9 service to LGA started out of PVD earlier this year and DTW is seeing 717s. Inter...
