A few post back we were discussing what equipment was allowed and how much was allowed to be flown, I came across this today and though I would share it. Some of the guys who have better knowledge on please chime in!

Departures by Equipment Type, July 2011

Airline Under 50 seats 51-88 seats 89-129 seats 130 seats or more
Delta--------------38%```````````20%```````````7%```````````35%
American---------35%```````````12%```````````0%```````````53%
United------------48%```````````15%```````````9%```````````28%
US Airways------39%```````````21%```````````15%``````````25%

When looking at this numbers if one take into account Airline size with AA being the 3rd larges this would mean that even if AA was going to get to US Airway 21% airframes between 51-88 seats they could only get give or take 140 airframes in the 51-88 seat category per current departures! My math might be fuzzy so please someone chime in.
