I agree with Carl, but the new aircraft to the DAL fleet will include the DC-9s, A320s, A319s, 747s, and A330. Although I think you can expect to see the DC-9s retired within the first few years.

Your gonna see alot of planes in storage I believe.

Does NWA own those ERJ-170s, or are those owned by Compass?
Like Delta's E170s are actually owned by Republic Airways...

Michael, we already have all the NWA routes (in DVA's schedule).
Probably we won't lose all the Continental routes, a lot, but not al of them.

Continental is leaving SkyTeam this year. I'd plan on losing them all.

I know that they are leaving, but ALL of them, I dont think so.
Air Jamaica its not in SkyTeam, and we have some routes, as well with Qantas and Alaska Airlines.

Salud!

Continental is, and will be, Delta's major competition in the trans-Atlantic space. I don't see much of a future for their code share relationship, especially since they're getting into bed with United. Events may prove me wrong, but don't say you weren't warned.

Cheers!

All code shares between COA and DL will end this October. This was announced last week when CO announced final exit date from Sky Team.
