Captain I was flying with said that regionals fly about 60-65% of all DL's domestic flying.

Curious as to why the main line guys would let that happen? I know the big focus is on international but someone has to get people to the ATL, JFK, CVG, LAX, ect.....

For some reason I thought scope was more than the number of seats an aircraft has....


Can anyone confirm if this number is close to accurate?
