Hello guys,

I've been flying the B757 for most of my career in Delta VA, mainly out of Atlanta as this is the main Delta hub with most destinations.

But I've decided to go for the A320 for the time being (going to make a checkride soon), and I was wondering what would be the main Delta hub for this aircraft, with the most destinations to choose from.

Thanks and happy flying.

I think its either SLC or DTW. I'm pretty sure I read an article that said Delta was moving most of their MD-88s out of SLC to DTW and replacing the MD-88s with A320s there.

Very true. I work out of SLC and I would say of the delta fleet there, at least 80% are 320's. The rest are 757, 1 767, 1 md-80, and 737's (at least there over night)

Thanks guys.

Looking at the "Find a flight" I found 16 A320 destinations out of SLC and 19 out of DTW. Not really a lot but it should keep me entertained for a while.

Anywhere else I should look into?

ATL, MSP, and LGA all have a good number of bus flights out.
