No, DCI is maxed out on all their aircraft, and over the scope limit on 50's right now until Republic winds down the E145's. Management would like to get 50 more 76 seat jets to Skywest to park their 50's, and then 9E will just park our 40, as they are temporary anyway. That would end the 50 seaters at Delta completely unless there is a carve out for the at risk flying that Skywest is doing.
I still can't figure out why management has a deal with GoJet, that partnership has tarnished Delta's performance, and alone cost them the number one airline award last year.
