The first aircraft of 10 is not even back yet and is delayed two weeks. Arriving home now on the 4th March. So how they expect all those routes to be covered by one aircraft is silly.
As far as I can work out they will need 4 refitted A330s to cover all the routes they've said they'll be operating from March 27th, at least on three days a week. Which clearly isn't going to happen.
We already know from another thread that there are certain days in April & May when DL are operating MAN-ATL instead of VS, perhaps to free up a 330 to operate the new BOS & SFO routes.
VS have also said there'll be changes to MCO flights in April & May, maybe some consolidating on days when there are two or more to free up a 747 to cover for a 330 on the Caribbean routes.
And LHR-ATL seems to be on the 340 instead of the 330 on some days in April.
So there's a lot of juggling of metal going on, presumably a concerted effort to free up 330s to be sent for refitting in April & May when they were due to already be in service.
