I was pretty sure that the 757 longbody is the most profitable airframe in the fleet. Seems that that is what we hear at every LCP meeting anyway.

With Departure procedures and RNAV arrivals, the poor 1980's computers in the MD88/90 and 737 need this:

They had to, PNCL would have liquidated because of lack of assets and zero other DIP financing opportunities. And, Delta couldn't get another operator to feed mainline quickly enough. So, you get to be saved, and shrunk probably. I will vote NO for any increase in your 76 seat fleet, and especially NO for any increase in size of your planes. Sorry.

It had nothing to do with the 1998 strike which was at least partly over allowing mesaba to have 36 ARJs limited to 69 seats. CRJ-200s were limited to 44 seats except for some that were coupled to the mainline aircraft count that could be 50 seats. That was undone in bankruptcy, and newco was a major sticking point in the concessions negotiations. As it turns out, the newco (compass was the final name) planes have far more range and viability than the dc-9s they replaced.[/QUOTE]
Well Said 80knots!!!
The 76 seat jet is very capable. I would strike to get them back to mainline.
