The 50 seat jets still have some life in them, but they are getting tired and the people don’t like them now that the E175 is out there. If I had a choice of buying a ticket on Delta on a E175 or A220 or United on an E145, I’d spend my money on Delta. I did last summer. I bought tickets for vacation on AA over UA to avoid a 2 hr flight in the 145. Those things are miserable.
