Seriously, there's airplanes at Delta flying around without GPS. I think they would retire those before they retire the Compass 175s...

Its nuts to me how the MD88s at Delta are flying around in better shape than CP 175s. The 175 is a great airplane, however since its newer tech and mostly electric, the MX upkeep is like on a BMW and CPZ hasn't been doing it well. Not at the fault of the mechanics but mngmt. The 88s at Delta are surprisingly in good shape minus cockpit trim falling off everywhere and awful flight deck seats.

I think it’s pretty telling that Delta doesn’t have a clue what to do with it’s regional fleet plan. EDV has been told for the last couple months to expect a 2019 fleet plan soon and we still aren’t expecting one any time soon but being in RGT recently getting to hear management spread all the rumors running around C tower this is the first time they didn’t promote any rumors or just outright shot down something that someone heard on the line. The silence has me thinking that one of the Delta regionals is dead in the water and they have legal reasons that they are keeping everything so close. My guess CPZ gets cut as well as GoJet. EDV MX has people that were sent to training on the ERJ in June.

But about the BMW analogy in regards to the 175, pretty spot on. The question is how are other airlines like OO and Combrick handling it?
