DCI is struggling to even come close to staffing what they have now for the summer schedule. It will be even worse the next few years. I doubt more large RJ's will even be discussed. I'm sure they want more seats in what they have, but they can't staff more airframes and doubt we will see a push for that.

What we will see is a push to soften the language of our JV balance agreements which means widebody Delta jobs go to AF/KLM, Virgin, GOL, and Aeromexico......and soon China Eastern. Way more of a threat to Delta pilots than the RJ threat at this point.
