My guess is all MD’s MD’d (more of a given), 717 all to ATL, A220 DTW/MSP, BOS 320, 765 all to one base (ATL or NYC). Reductions to 7ER systemwide. Hopeful for enough spots for all as it shakes out. The NOV AE was pretty massive and pipeline shut down for NH about 900 short, with a now extended timeline and retirements. Fat some CA positions to halt a waterfall with retirements and fat A200/717B to fill gaps.. We shall see soon enough. Trying to think positive.

ive always remembered your logical thinking posts back in the 9E days. There are many ways this won’t be that bad for us here at Delta. But most of us Delta pilots have always been able to put our boots down and find the light in the dark. I’m with ya higney

Talk to anyone that works in network or has flown the 220:
717/88/90/E195/CRJ900/twin aisle ATR1000 ≠ 220
A 220 is a 319 replacement.
The 220 makes its money on long, cross country flights. Flying it on routes less than an hour is a complete misuse of its advantage/strength
The 717 isn’t going anywhere unless you want to give up bottom scope.

I’m on the 220. Doing flights like LGA-BOS or EWR-DTW we use less gas than an E175 and fit 30 more PAX. It might not have been designed for short haul but it does it just fine. Look at its utilization in Europe with Swiss and Air Baltic. Not saying we are getting rid of the 717, but the 220 can fill a lot of markets if needed.
