DL has a boatload of options with Boeing, and can get plenty of 777's for the Middle East. As for South America, someone here mentioned they're going to reconfigure some 757's for service down there, which should be a step up from the 737-800's they're using on some routes down there.
Even though you look at their options, I don't see how they will manage in the next few years. Unless everyone has be squeezed into a small aircraft domestic.
Will the 777 be the future overseas aircraft? If you read some other posting, DL better improve the seats on 777
If DL pull out 757 from domestic to the SA market, they will have a vacum there.
For South America they will need the big aircrafts for Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
Another option is to purchase an other airline.
