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?
Some of them are owned/leased by DAL. Others are owned/leased by the regionals. DAL seems to prefer to own the 900's when dealing with regionals with marginal performance history...that way they can take their ball and go home on short notice.
