alrighty.... here is what I am coming up with... I am wanting other folks to correct any figures I have wrong- not bash!



Pinnacle 16 CR9's @ 76 seats, 126 CR2 @ 50 seats
Mesaba 49 Saab, 36 CR9@ 76 seats
Compass 36 EMB175 @76 (grandfathered)
ASA 110 CR2, 11 ATR, 110 CR2, 39 CR7 @ 70
SkyWest ? CR2, 17 CR9 @ 70 seats (according to skywest.com?)
Republic (shuttle) 44 Emb170 @ 70 seats, EMB 175 in 70/76?
Mesa losing 14 CRJ @ 76- (We know comair gets em- just getting a tally here)
Comair 128 CR2, 15 CR7 @ 70, 13 CR9 @76



totals= Trprop 60
CR2= lots and lots (380 not counting mesa and any others I may have listed in the above list- these are 50 seats and not in the scope issue at hand)
70 seat class= 115
76 seat= 79 ( not counting compass and including mesa's 14 up for speculation)



255- 115-79= 61 51+ market available.
120- 79= 41 in the 76 seat class
only 60 tprops currently- limited to 70K# or 70 pax. Not sure if the Q400 can fit in there.




If 76 seaters are "maxed" at 120 per scope there is an option for 20 more at the 70 seat market. Please add/correct anything wrong here. This is 2 pilots running math with help of Jack Daniels.....
