Delta to get EMB-190's

I guess the plan was to base them in SEA. Will these replace the 717's out west on the 'shuttle' routes? Now that we have a new Crew Resources guru who just opened the LAX 777 base, I wonder if they'll consider other options, like SLC? More gate space there, plus a hangar and a sim building...

Actually our crew planning guys say they can add an entire extra bank of flying into SLC very easily even with the new terminal construction. They have looked at this a number of times to deal with gate restraint issues in LAX and SEA. I doubt the 190 will be based in SLC, but it is the only place we have access to gates in the short term out west right now.

BTW, I'm doing so many 88 runs on the 717 now. which seats 110. Not 149 or 160.
The E190 will seat, what? 98? Not much smaller than the 717.
So if the 717 can replace the 88, so can the E190 right? Hopefully the NC recognizes it.
