Well that's what happens... ORD-LGA is a total suite and tie market. UAL flies 757s or 319/320 with TVs and room vs DAL on a E-170 where you get stuck checking your carry-on because the pilots and FAs have stuffed 4-5 of the overhead bins with their overnight bags and bags filled with 5 days of Romen Noodles.

Or you can buy a 1st class ticket on AA flying a 738 or MD80 where you get a 2 course, hot steak dinner with a hot cookie for dessert, or Delta (DCI Shuttle America) where you get a FA that does not do a beverage service on the ground, then a hour into the flight finally drops off your meal the disappears to go play "Angry Birds" in the last row of the A/C (which btw they ask customers to move out of...).

Just like RJ's helped us to build the LGA-ORD market, (which btw is the highest traveled passenger market in the USA (1,125,000+ pax 2010)), the RJs will help us build Delta's NYC market.

When you build a market, why not put your best product on the market not your cheapest?

I think we just gave Jet Blue a big win for their newly acquired slots!!!
