Embraer itself has expressed that Compass trashes their airplanes like no other US regional. (Blame the management, not the mechanics IMHO). Delta is aware of this.
-The 170s were given away (ref: 170 memo Dec 2016). TSH didn’t want to open a 170 LGA base and figured it was more profitable to give them away...and use the opportunity to force out their MoSt exPensive crews.
-Ever ride on some of these OALs? CPZ MX isnt great, but certainly not the worst. The root cause is mainline demand. DL schedules the CZ tails to fly more hours than the rest, hense they break down more often. CP just staffs, mainline pays for the rest. If they wanted better they would pay for more infrastructure. Why do they do this? Because they can given the nature of ownership and not being a WO.
