Yep. The flow down is in place here to Endeavor if y'all need it, but the 35 RJs aren't flying because we can't hire enough pilots to staff them. Over 40 still parked last I checked, and we're parking more at the rate of a couple per week...

what’s parked? Also how many 50 seaters do you have? I could see a scenario where they park all the 50 seaters and bring back larger RJs. But I don’t know your fleet and they may all be parked any way.

Down to 12 200s by year end, attrition through the roof, unable to appropriately staff 76 seaters. Skywest picking up all flying DL 76 and 50 seaters outside of LGA/JFK. Republic operating E175s as well. Largest factor in Delta regional flying is attrition and with United and American poaching EDV pilots and Spirit and JetBlue hiring RJ FOs with 500 SIC or less. Nobody to become captains.

I'll have to check the latest fleet list, but we've still got a bunch of the 700s and 900s that came from from Go Jet parked, plus a couple of the oldest Mesaba 900s, and as previously mentioned we'll have 12 200s by the end of 2022, and those remaining 12 will be gone by the 2nd quarter of 2023 most likely.
