Is Delta scoped out on large RJs, (CR7,CR9,170,175)? If no, what's left; if yes, what are the odds on that changing in the next couple of years?
Thank you in advance!
(I'm asking because I have an interview with 9E (non-pilot) and I am trying to get a feel for the future of the company.)
450 total DCI planes allowed and 325 of those a mix of 70/76 seaters. The latest TA doesn't allow any more 76-seaters, so the company is stuck at a max of 325 "efficient" regional planes.
The pilot group will not allow a single more, so this means the flying only has one place to go when the 50-seaters go away... mainline.
I have a feeling 9E will be the only one left standing in the end and if things get really bad, it will have to be adsorbed.
