Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
The new service will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines using 76-seat two-class CRJ900 regional jets. In addition to a first class cabin, these aircraft are equipped with onboard WiFi and Delta's snack, food for purchase and beverage offerings.

Our scope only allows 15% of all DCI flights to be over 900SM(the "NEW" UCAL TA allows 20% over 900SM....thanks for raising the bar, ugh.), and KLAX-KSEA is around 950-960. Therefore thery are eating into their allotment of "long range" RJ flights. As DCI goes from 600 down to 450 aircraft, the number of 900+ mile flights will diminish by roughly 25% also. Adding in 6 more segments when reducing the overall allowance will place a higher importance of utilizing the right airplane on routes. It is a place holder and a test to see if they can sell enough tickets to generate a revenue positive market share. if that happens and they can expand it by a few more seats and maintain the positive revenue you will see some or all of those legs up-gauged to mainline in the future.
Thanks for giving away 90 seat airframes in the first place! And being the first airline to outsource the 50 seat jets at the very beginning of the 90's!

Delta Reports Financial and Operating Performance for December 2012 - Yahoo! Finance
My favorite part(edited for brevity) is:
ASMs:
Domestic. . . . . . (1.8%)
Delta Mainline. . . 0.4%
Regional. . . . . . .(9.5%)
No matter how you cut it, DCI is shrinking.

You mean 90 seat airframes(that make as much sense as 140 seat A-319's) scope 'stolen' in bankruptcy, and nobody had 50 seat scope restrictions previously.
