this might end up as the DC9 and MD80 replacement for NWA/DAL. NWA has been looking at this plane for a while. The NWA fleet manager told me he has already flown the sim for it. IMHO there is no way this plane would/should go to a regional. Most of the mainline pilot groups seemed to have learned their lesson on scope relaxation and the effects it has. The New DAL scope has actually capped the number of "RJ's" now.
