Yeah... those are facts, too.
The E190? You mean the one they tried to sell in 2009? And the same one that RJET uses for service under Frontier branding? Doesn't seem like a very stable RJ at mainline.

Remember Mid-Atlantic? That was a smart business decision. They even used the "US AIR" call sign. Then they sold out the crabby Mid-Atlantic guys when they sold the E170/E175 operation to RJET. That may have been the last good attempt at RJ flying st mainline. Look how it turned out for the Mid-Atlantic guysb

However - for Delta pilots, we can be thankful that our TA doesn't allow DCI to fly anything larger than 76 seats. So if the fleet gurus at DAL decide to buy a bunch of E190s (which they won't) I'll be happy to swing your gear in one.

So what's the track record of the airplane again?
