No it doesn't. The large RJ's are nearly maxed out. Doesn't matter what certificate they are on. How do you figure this?

He's talking about how we have regionals flying for us now with aircraft larger than 76 seats, ala republic flying e-190/airbuses. But since they're flown on separate tickets its allowed per our scope. This whole separate tickets thing circumvents our scope language and it BS

What's the deal with the 5% stock drop for DAL today? I assume investors are reacting to the Boeing deal...I think it's a reasonable, conservative business decision. Most airline stocks are around 1% down today.

Right in the Q&A on DetaNet:
737-900ER to replace some 76ERs.

Great News indeed!

Wasn't there a resolution to close this loophole recently? Anyone know the status?

Ready fire aim.... Care to quote your source for that?

Here, I'll help you out:

Q. The press release mentions 767s as aircraft that are being replaced. I thought this was for narrowbody domestic fleet retirements?

A. Because of its range and size, the 737-900ER can be deployed to replace several aircraft types, ranging from the smaller 757s and Airbus A320s as well as larger domestic 767-300s. The new airplanes are not intended to be one-for-one replacements for a single aircraft type.

All airlines are down along with the market today, it wasn't because of the order.
