Now THIS is interesting. Seems to pair up nicely with the rumor that DAL is soon to be parting ways with OO.

As others have said though, it's no secret Delta is a control freak when it comes to brand quality. With more 717's and A220's coming on line and EDV working to get the E175 on their cert - it wouldn't surprise me to see a reduction of flying start for OO at some point.

A friend working at Endeavor? Oh boy.......
Lets dive in to Delta's marketing plan, shall we?
Delta is moving towards a all E175 fleet for their Delta Connection feed, that is obvious. My guess is, what you will see happen is Endeavor is going to end up with the former Compass tails that will come from Republic and SkyWest to start things off. Once Endeavor has their feet on the ground and a 175 program is out of its growing pains phase, you will gradually see the CRJ fleet start to dwindle down as 175's start to replace them. Both Endeavor and SkyWest are seeing a reduction of flying for DL due to the CRJ200 going away, and that has been known for quite sometime.
Delta will continue to maximize EVERY regional jet they are allowed under scope, regardless of how many 717's or 220's they are flying. I don't know why people have such a hard time grasping this concept.
