Projection: (From previous post)
Delta purchases 36 CRJ1000s for mainline pushing 753 to 789. In the process Delta negotiates a "final" regional scope limit of 99 seats. Everything 100 or above will belong to mainline.
How many seats does CRJ1000 configured for with the First Class seats?
I don't think there are any RJs out there in SERVICE that has more seats than CRJ900 at the moment and CRJ900 for DAL is configured for 76 seats.
So if CRJ1000 are ordered for the DAL mainline, which would be a really good thing, what RJ has seats between the CRJ900 and the CRJ1000?
