However, it is advantageous for Delta to have Endeavor ready to operate CRJ-700 aircraft in the future if the need and or opportunity arrives. In Tech Ops we need to update our maintenance programs, research AD’s, write new job cards and work instructions and identify any parts and materials differences. All of this work is just beginning, As I have said, we have no specific plans to operate any number of CRJ-700 aircraft at this time. This is an exercise to be ready for the CRJ-700 if the need arises."

Let the rumor mill fire up now! This is something delta wants ready...JUST IN CASE!
