The problem is the regionals are not reliable nor highly rated by the
customer. Mainlines want to keep them happy and paying a premium for mainline metrics. If regionals consistently performed as good as mainline for 1/2 - 2/3 the cost mgt would be happy and not trying
to up-guage. But they're not.
Delta’s regionals with maybe the exception of go jets are now performing quite well. We are maxed out on E175’s. They need a change in scope to get more.
