I don't know if I counted right but I see this:
220 Flight Segments
202 or 92% Regional
18 or 8% Mainline
By type:
14 MD88 (MIA, NAS, RSW)
4 B737 (DEN)
E145 110 (ALB, BGR, BTV, CAE, CHO, CLE, GSO, GSP, IAD, ILM, MHT, ORF, PHL, RIC, ROA, SDF, SYR, YHZ, YOW, YUL)
CRJ700 38 (BNA, BTV, CLT, MYR, PIT, RDU, ROC, STL, SYR)
E170/175 30 (DFW, IAH, IND, JAX, MCI, MKE, PIT)
CRJ900 22 (BUF, MKE, PIT)
CPJ 2 (RIC)
A couple of observations.
1. If I'm not mistaken, when SWA acquired AirTran and announced new service it was all on a 717 or 737. I didn't see the words CRJ, ERJ, E170, E175, CRJ700 or CRJ900 anywhere. Could that be because of their scope clause?
2. Remember as you read the LGA expansion to say: "Delta wants out of the RJ business" and "The LGA slot swap will increase mainline flying".
3. And remember to say- "shut up scope chickens."
