    Do think we'll ever see a T7-300ER in either DL's or UA's fleet?

    Ideally, I would love to see the 747-8i but the 300ER seems it would be a good fit with comparable numbers to the 8i not to mention commonality with their existing 200's.

    I would love to see it, however, I question if AA will ever actually even see a T73 on property due to the pilot contract. Their contract is negotiated based on a seat to weight ratio. There are no provisions in the previous contract that would allow an airplane that size to operate.

    i would like to see the 747-8 in K4 's fleet !!!
    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    I would think you would see one in DL's colors now that AA has ordered them.
