In a "someone ought to..." moment, I thought I'd try and start a new thread just for drops. Might make it easier for those interested to get the latest.

Now you're adding the Cseries as well? Seems like that could have been covered by the 737-700 or the miniBus.

So should Delta have gone with the next variant of Boeing's 40-year old workhorse? I think I understand where Richard was coming from...
Heck, even Ed wouldn't lose sleep over that choice.
