I agree it might be hard to make money with a 50 seater. Delta says they can't make money with the regionals and want to do more mainline flying. So on my deadhead out of LGA on the MD-88 on my last trip I sat in the back by myself and let the other 29 passengers have the front all to themselves. It was great no screamin kids etc. But why send out an MD-88 with 30 people on it? I guess I don't see the big picture.
