Gojet performance is horrible for DL and shuttle is going to lose the -170/175's for DL to rid themselves of the DL 50 seat contract.

End state of 81 -900's (all here), 56 -200's (at 43 I think currently), plus the above starting with an EMB program Q3/4 2016 and the -700's as the start of 2017. Bloch award ends June 16, 2016 so there is no red tape on the endeavor side for different aircraft types.

At least that's what I have put together through various channels of sources. Time will tell. One thing is for sure, if it's being posted on a message board, enough folks already know to the point where sources aren't exposed.

It's unfortunate that planes are doing the shuffle, but it comes down to performance, control, cost, and what DL wants as an end result.
