71-76 sea max of 223, once Endeavor takes delivery of their last CR9 DAL will have 193 76 seaters in service. DAL will have to park 50 seaters due to the addition of the last 30 76 seaters above 193 and the ratio is very steep, i believe it's close to 1 to 4 ratio. I am not in the DCI system so I don't keep as much track, but the E170 awarded to RAH are likely to be capacity being moved around the system and not additional lift. The flying will come at the expense of someone else as I believe Delta is maxed out on the 51-70 seat range with 102 airframes.
Anyone know how many 50 seaters are even left in the DAL system. 9E has parked a bunch of theirs and soon the CHQ (now Shuttle America) 145s are going to get parked. Now sure how many, if any, SKW and ASA have parked. How many does that leave?
