I have been doing some analysis on Deltas usage (or future reductions) of their 767-300ERs and have noticed that in 2020-April quite a few of the 767-300er legs are being switched to A330-200's, which has me doing some additional analysis. According to DL's current "332" usage - all 11 are used almost to their maximum, yet in 2020-April the schedule shows 6 additional round-trip legs being added: 1) ATL-FRA-ATL 2) DTW-FRA-DTW 3) JFK-FRA-JFK 4) JFK-LHR-JFK 5) MSP-LHR-MSP 6) PDX-NRT-PDX. These added 6 legs are "almost" double the usage of current 332 routes, which ponders my next questions/thoughts. Is Delta picking up some additional used 332's -or- did Delta order new 332's -or- did Delta order new 338's -or- is the 2020-April's list of new 332 routes just "placeholders" ? I'm just trying to make some since of DL's intentions (being a non DL employee, looking into what DL's schedulers would have privy to - creates some curiosity on my part). Just painfully wondering............

The did announce that PDX-HND will be on a 332, so that one could very well stick prior to DL closing NRT.
Oh, and this thread is supposed to be about the DOMESTIC 763's, of which there is only one left in the fleet.

Seem like A321 starting today replacing 763.
Is N1402A being retired too? It's flying ATL-SVN-RIV today https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n1402a

It looks like a set of charter type retirement flights, but it does seem to be going back and forth quite a bit.

SVN is Hunter Army Airfield at Fort Stewart near Savannah; RIV is March Air Reserve Base near Riverside CA, which is the departure point for a lot of C-5/C-17/KC-10 missions to Korea, Japan, Australia, and numerous other military TPAC destinations

I'll second this - used to fly this plane weekly SEA to MSP/DTW and back, the WiFi barely let my email come through during it's best moments.

The last domestic 767 is headed for retirement in the next couple of hours.
N1402A flew its last commercial ops yesterday on ATL-SLC-ATL.

saw it parked at ATL Gate T1 on Mon morning when my DCA flight was taxiing out ...
I was on that jet in Nov 2005, CVG-MCO (upgraded as FO)

Flew on N1402A last year on the nonstop ANC-ATL. Very dated plane but brought back memories! My husband flew on it a week or two later and it was plagued with MX delays. Disappointed that this summer's flights between ANC-ATL was only offered on a 757. Would love to see a 767 with D1 on the route.
