Any aircraft that seats over 76, and any 51-76 seat airframes over 255 are flown by pilots on the Delta Air Lines Master Seniority List.
It's the 255 not currently flown by Delta Pilots that provides the heartburn....

I personally don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling when I hear the words RJ and "large, mixed purchase order" together in the same sentence when discussing the future of our fleet.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind flying these aircraft either, but I see the pressure to keep these RJs at our regional counterparts continuing.
Furthermore seeing as scope violations all but go unnoticed by ALPA, I don't see what would be stopping management from continuing to outsource our jobs.
