I currently fly one of these 76 seat jets (E75) and these jets should be at flown by Delta pilots. No excuse. I have a trip next month. SLC-SNA-SLC-MCI-DTW in 1 day. These jets are no longer a regional jet like in the past but a very comfortable jet with less people. The only thing different from a paxs perspective is no safety video
Uh...no. That would result in an addition of 1300 seats to DCI and you don't mention tying those 76s to added mainline jets...TA reduces dci seats by 5600 and requires 1.25 new ML jets for every 76. Your hypothetical is in no way similar to our TA.
