With regards to parking 50 seaters, anyone know or have an idea how many more Delta needs to park. I know all Comair's are parked and all of Pinnacle's will be gone here soon. That leaves how many left to park for Delta? It can't be that many.

In addition to Comair's remaining CRJ100/200 aircraft that were parked, Skywest has agreed to park 66 and subject to membership ratification of their TA Pinnacle will park 140 of them. That will leave less then 125 50 seaters in the DCI fleet when all is done.
