I understand Bombardier can go either way on this, and I'd love to see us turn in 50-seaters for C-Series instead... but what's the incentive for the DCI carriers to let Delta out of the 50-seat contracts?
"Who cares" isn't an answer...
I don't know. Can this be leverage? I can see Bombarier wanting to keep the line open, and offering discounts. If so, do we get credit? If it's up to us, do we get credit for that? Is it worth jeopardizing a potential 2 year delay, and maybe 717s?
