Prelude

To prelude the upcoming posts talking about replacement aircraft, here are a few notes I have considered in my anticipated assumptions.

• Like any revenue generating company, the most important aspect of the business is to generate revenues while minimizing debts & expenses.  
• Delta has stated that their replacement aircraft are typically not 1:1.
• Though the plan is not 1:1, there has to be a replacement aircraft for flights, thus you have to find the right balance of potential revenue (# of seats per product with the most efficient and least amount of flight costs), demand equalizing (the right aircraft per flight), and at the right time (per season).  
• When Delta bought the current fleet (majority of aircraft are of the out going generation of types), they were also in the process of really increasing their market share and flight infrastructure.  
• Same can be said of Northwest and the aircraft and flights that were merged into today's Delta.  
• The data on particular flights is deeper now than when they purchased the majority of the current fleet.
• This allows them to be more specific with the aircraft types and # of seats.
