DL doesn't use any "old" aircraft in CA. the M80s would be all that falls in that category but they don't serve CA.Not too surprised to see the 717's heading west. California has been lobbying hard for the EPA to start regulating aircraft emissions, and a little appeasement helps keep them at bay.
and dawg,
the 757s in Asia are the ONLY exception just as the 727s were in FRA. and the 757 pilots in Asia are the same type as 767s which is not presently true with 717 pilots.
MCI-LAX was a SINGLE flight. DL is ADDING mainline capacity as fast as they can get airplanes and train pilots.
you already forgot about the BOS-LGA conversion from E jets to mainline? all of those cities that are seeing DL mainline service for the first time on any carrier in decades?
