That already totals 123 and it isn't even counting the current Comair ones. Of course, the balance of the Pinnacle, Skywest, Freedom and Comair deliveries have yet to happen. Mesaba will have their 36 in a few months, I was under the impression Compass would as well. Aren't some of the Skywest planes in a 70 seat config? Seems to me that would be the solution for the overage... or just not take delivery of the overage and convert them to CRJ 700s instead.
From what I understand (told by MN in recurrent) is you have to take the CP's 36 out of the equation because they are included in the exemption (over 86,000 lbs) That makes the total number 156 76 seaters (120 <86,000 lbs and CP's exempted 36).
