After reading it...take a look at the range on the bugger....can you say Mad Dog replacement? Maybe not all of the Mad Dogs, but a lot of their lift. Can you say fewer seats = more pricing power? Anyways...Delta WILL get these aircraft...its up to us to decide if we are willing to fly them a a $40 an hour discount to the B-717... apparently NOT.
