A successful C100/300 gives DAL the ability to bypass hubs in thinner markets at vastly improved economics. It will have 2x the range of the 717. Think pairings like SEA/STL, LAX/HOU, LAX/DAL, LGA/IAH, SFO/SAT and many more. It will be a game changer for DAL structure. The 717 will continue to shoulder the shrinking regional routes in and out of hubs. Cue Bowie singing "Changes".

With the dynamics on the industry and the shifts in profitability among different segments management probably will wait until the last day of their option period to make that call. That probably means 2022 before you will hear anything.

...or to just buy the whole airline.
HAL has B717s, B767s (shrinking fleet), A330s, A321s (deliveries soon), A350s (deliveries soon).
DAL has purple FA and gate agent uniforms.
Should be a natural fit.

Hawaiian is getting rid of theirs soon, so I expect DAL to pick them up.

Don't think we want anything to do with Hawaiians with the number of cycles on them.
