Not to worry - Delta has rarely seen a used airplane it didn't like; DL's accountants are probably sharpening their pencils in preparation for a bid for these fine used airplanes.
How do operating costs for these A330s compare to the late-build 763s AA is keeping around for Hawaii? Same number of F seats, but another 60-70 economy seats seems like a winner for Inland US-HNL/OGG, and DL/UA don't seem to be losing their shirts operating widebodies from their central/eastern hubs.
