With 100% those being forced down their throats in bankruptcy contracts. Thankfully the latest DL contract pares down the regional fleet significantly at the expense of a few more 76 seaters. I didn't like how many were allowed, but I'm ok with the concept.

All this is another part of why this conversation is going on at Pinnacle... once the 88 717s are taken (raising quite a few more mainline jobs than there are today, too), it is more than one airline's worth of 50 seaters that have to be parked, and they seem to be intent on dumping them even earlier than required (a major reason why I voted no on the TA, but that's water under the bridge) .
