I am sure there is a discussion somewhere, but I have not seen it. For pilots in the airbus family and since Delta seems to be moving that way as well, can we get an Airbus platform for Stage 4? It seems counterproductive to have an Airbus pilot not to have a natural progression to Stage 5 without having to learn an aircraft that is no longer in Delta's fleet (777 or L1011). I know the progression is much simpler in the Airbus since they use the entire FBW concept from the A220 to the A380. All of the planes in Delta's Airbus system are already available for pilots to get today.
