9E is primarily DTW, MSP, and ATL right now because Delta can put 900s on poorer routes. Some of the places that we fly are just happy that they have two-class jet service. Someone heading from Fort Wayne to Atlanta isn't going to ***** about seat 1A in a 900; someone flying from LaGuardia to Buffalo might. The cabin is tighter. The plane is louder. The windows aren't very big. Gate-checked luggage sucks.
9E is clearly in second place to any 175 provider when it comes to any route that Delta can make a **** ton of money on.

I don’t think 9e has either . Are they still producing the 900? I don’t think they are .

I'll revise my previous answer. Delta would trade 900s for 175s one for one in a heartbeat, assuming that the 900s aren't way cheaper.
