Why would Delta pilots care about weights?

Because thanks to an MEC that does not have a clue, they are losing routes faster than they can say the word outsourcing.

MSP to SMF/RNO/SFO/PDX/SEA/LAX/SAN/ONT/PSP/LAS are will now all be possible with the E75, with no weight restrictions, year round, with every seat full.

Read that again, MSP pilots.

Those nice cushy daytrips are never going to grow in numbers to secondary cities now. Ever! If it's not enough for an Airbus, it will be outsourced.

How about SLC-ATL? No problem. MEM-LAX? It can do it. JFK-DEN. Currently mainline right? Think it needs to be a mainline jet every day? Perhaps an Embraer will work better?

There are hundreds of more examples.
