Delta will wait for new planes to prove themselves: CEO - Yahoo! Finance

Personally, I think Alaska will happen first;after their pilots vote in a new contract that will somehow allow larger outsourced aircraft. That would be managements perfect setup, blaming the acquired contract for the reason that a 100 seat aircraft would need scope relaxation. ( I can here alpa and the company saying that the 10 year capacity purchase agreement with X carry cannot just be cancelled without negotiation and financial considerations) I have a bad feeling on this one! Skywest and trans states order the MRJ but no legacy carriers scope allows for it? I hope I am WRONG!
