Flash forward about a month later during a Steve Dickson road show and I asked him if Delta was looking at the CS Series.....he looked around and stated that he wasn't familiar with the aircraft. I believe Delta has been watching this airframe for some time. It would be a perfect replacement for the 717 and older 88 (CS 100, 300, 500) all same type....CS 100 sold as replacement for future "uneconomical 76 seaters" in 2015....CS 100 allowed to go to DCI and then bye-bye narrow body fleet....I hope that I am wrong on this second part... Just another black helicopter moment....
We just passed up significantly larger raises to keep our seat limit at 76 (delta wanted 82). I don't see us changing our mind in three years.
