I've always wanted more details about the below:

Comair changed the U.S. airline industry forever in June when it became the Western Hemisphere launch customer for the 50-passenger Canadair Regional Jet. By 1993, Comair had grown to serve more than 68 locations in 23 states and three countries, employing more than 2,200 aviation professionals.


I have often heard that one can point the finger at Delta for not wanting to fly the first regional jets. They could have stopped what we have now in it's tracks back in the early 90's. Hindsight is always 20/20, but I have never been able to find any hard facts about how the above actually went down. Any thoughts?
