At this rate, i bet its going to be past 2010.
Any word as to which routes Delta plan to fly the new planes?

We get to fly it when the Vikings win the superbowl. But Hell will then immediately ice over, however, meaning that you will never actually be able to fly in it.
Seriously, the moment that the strike went on at Boeing, the hope for the delivery keeping in the 2009 timeframe went out the window. Testing will take most of 2009 now, probably.
Personally I do predict that this next major delay will be the last such one, but of course TIFWIW.
