Well how about this for fun then. Statements below from the DAL July 13 earnings call. Not groundbreaking info but this is the clearest indication I've heard to date that we won't co-exist with the C Series, it's bumping us from NYC.

Delta confirmed it will use its first Bombardier C Series narrowbodies scheduled for delivery next year on high-value routes now served by large regional jets as well as for new markets that fit the 100-seater’s profile.

“For high-demand, 76-seat, long-range RJ markets…that will probably be the first selection” for new C Series twinjets, Delta President Glen Hauenstein said.

Delta plans to base the first C Series in New York,” he added. “I won't tell you where it's going to go, but it will start in New York.”

It fits the narrative. CS100 bumps CR9 down to the flying thats CR2. CR2 moves to ATL/DTW.

CS100 will replace a combination of CRJ900 and EMB175 "top tier" flying and open up longer range flying that the current aircraft cannot support.

The 900's will then replace the 200's in those markets.

Republic and/or GoJets CPA's will be wound up and airframes moved to 9E.

Yes, Republic has some slots DAL still uses. Compass, and GoJet however, I think are likely done for DCI, since DAL needs to send those frames to Skywest to get rid of 50 seater contracts. By 2020ish, DCI will be 9E, RAH, SKYW, that's it.

That is your fault. As a CA, you are a primary trainer and a mentor. If you fail to do that, collectively, then expect a FO group that doesn't come to the plane with better skills.

Short of the big 3 splitting the planes three ways, keeping them around is a cheap way to fly excellent aircraft.
