Delta’s first 717 Makes an Appearance; First 737-900ER Due Soon
Delta’s 717 cabins will be configured with twelve first class (2-2), fifteen economy comfort (2-3), and eighty-three economy seats (2-3). DL will eventually take delivery of 88 of the planes–all subleased from Southwest/Airtran–with fifteen expected in 2013. Meanwhile, out in Seattle, DL’s first 737-900ER is believed to have taken to the sky yesterday operating as BOE801. (www.airchive.com) Más...

How can anything age better then the DC9? 45 years still going strong? It's the B52 of commercial aviation
It won't outlast the 52's
Brilliant business plan!
I have to laugh when I hear that Delta is using the 737-900 to replace the aging 757's, 767's and A320's. My god, have those aircraft been around that long? I worked at Northwest when the A320 first came on line. Guess that tells you how I'm aging!
Mad dog family forever lol. I'm glad they are still flying, but I really wish Boeing would look into that UHB thing from a few years back. They could squeeze out some amazing savings in fuel if they could finally work the bugs out of that idea, especially on short hops like the DL shuttle that just started up out west. Wouldn't it be cool to still see 717's flying in like 2040? Could have a competition to see who flies the longest, B-52's or DC-9 variants haha.
Funny I saw one of the 712's go overhead a week or so ago with a Delta symbol. It would take me forever to research it.
