Times are good. Economy is good. Fuel is cheap. Why in the world would you even consider giving up one airplane worth of scope? Parking MD-88s to be replaced with CS100. So we charge more for a seat, less capacity. B-717/CS100 cover MD-88 flying. Your new large RJs that you're willing to give away then do the 717 flying.
Log into delta net. Look at the news: DCI just broke a performance record. *** are you talking about they can't staff? Giving up scope in this market will come back and bite you when the market turns.
