I've heard all the RJ900 aircraft in the Delta system are actually owned or leased directly to Delta, and not the regional affiliate. Anyone know if there is any truth to that?
It depends. DAL pays the leases, but the DCI carrier then in turn has a lease with DAL. It is quite complicated. Then DAL pays the lease. So the end result is that we DAL pay the lease on the RJ.
