Express Jet flew 145,622 hours in 2013 at a cost of $80,518,920.
Endeavor could have flown the same block hours for $52,569,542

DAL will reduce CRJ200 operations in 2014

Who has the leverage ?
This is a flat out lie, I don't fly the CR2 but on a 2 hr flight you will burning over 3k lbs of gas, that's $1,300+ just on gas and I know this is very conservative. Add to that crew, maintenance, insurance, leases and other cost related including back office folks and these RJs cost thousands of dollars an hr to operate. If endeavor did it for sub 400 an hr these airplanes would make a profit with just the folks sitting on the exit row!!!! Please don't come here spewing garbage.

I think staffing will play a larger role, people will go to EXJ over Endeavor and their staffing is already suffering.

Fuel and some maintenance costs (engine overhauls) are reimbursed by Delta.

Doesn't matter, the OP states that the operational cost were sub $600, even if you take fuel out of the equation that figure is low. Just in crew member wages you would be over $150, and this doesn't account for all of the crew cost. Add ion the dispatchers, ramp, gate agent, and the list goes on and on.

With that said, next time they say they can't make money because of the pilots cost, you can remind them of how we are such a small part of the pie.

Delta can do whatever they want, they hold all the cards. Bendover had a CPA with Delta through 2020, how is that working out for them? You work for a contractor in an industry where it will be near impossible to make money in the next couple years. Get ready for the unexpected, things are changing quickly.

Anyone who's worked for a DCI carrier that's been bent over knows that contracts mean absolutely nothing. They are meant to be broken. Just wait for it. Delta does what it wants and they have smart accountants/lawyers who can weasel their way out of anything. Delta won't be held back nor told what to do by ANY of its regional carriers... Including the mighty SkyWest.

I just report the numbers from a reputable aviation analytical organization. "Flight Operations Expense This includes pilots, training, fuel/oil, leases and even benefits."

Another interesting comparison is Express Jet cost of $.042 per seat mile vs Endeavor $.029 per seat mile.

Delta must be picking up the tab on fuel for both carriers, because the CRJ-200 burns about 400 gallons of fuel per hour...
