Maybe another mainline pilot group will give up the weight limit but Delta pilots will not.

I completely agree we should fly CRJ700 and CRJ900s here at mainline. Maybe someday, a guy can hope right?
For the sake of discussion it really seems like the weight limit is a random number. The next biggest plane that is a threat to mainline jobs, the 190 or Cseries is no where near that limit and is over it by like 30k pounds. The MRJ is in the same class as the crj9 and 175 wich you already have, no jobs will be lost that would have been lost by CRJ9s and 175s to begin with.
