Doesn't Delta scope in the PWA limit the 50 seaters in the entire DCI system to 125 total?

Endeavor, is a way to "train" pilots to fill their needs, so when brought to mainline, it is simply a new type that the candidate is training for as the "Delta" way would already be a part of their DNA.
They are full steam ahead with changing the current SOP's to match theirs, as the changes are evident with the 900’s and still being modified.
What all the naysayers need to understand is Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan are dead. Delta wanted to start a regional up and did it by buying an AOC and some assets. So let the ghosts of airline’s past rest in peace, Endeavor is a new beast that will rule the roost, so get in on the ground floor because it will be a Meteoric rise!
Not to argue the merits of everything said, but a meteoric rise is a misnomer because a meteor is a short lived streak as it comes crashing down. A meteor is not the best metaphor for a triumphant and lasting ascendancy.
