Delta group 1 vs AA group 1
In the sake of proper comparisons,
Delta E190 is in Group 1, as is AA.
Delta 717 is a Group 2 aircraft and should be compared with AA Group 2.
If AA was operating the 717, it too would be in Group 2. This was tried and tested when they attempted to stick the A319 (110-120 seats) into Group 1 and we flatly rejected it. It is now in group 2.
Just FYI for all the conspiracy theorists out there who are saying that Delta pilots are flying the 717 as a group 1 aircraft.

I know what you are saying. I was just trying to give the only "real world" 100 seat scenario I could think of. The Delta E190s are still somewhere off in Wonderland.

And in the end, the 717 would also be in group 2 at AA. So overall I don't think comparing their 717 rates to our 190 rates is a valid comparison.

Would be like comparing a 777 rate to a 320 rate. Yes it's more, "duh".
Personally I'm glad we have RJs on property here, and hope it expands while downsizing the commuters.

Apples to apples comparisons please. Delta 717 is not a valid comparison to AA group 1.

DL 717: 110 seats.
a. Group I: With the exception of aircraft identified in Groups II through V below, any aircraft configured (i.e. as operated by American Airlines) with greater than seventy-six (76) seats and less than one-hundred-eighteen (118) seats, including E190/195, CRJ-1000, MRJ- 100, and Bombardier CS100.
717 is not "identified" in groups II-V
