How do you see more dual class aircraft at Delta? They are scoped out.

Good point. I don't know the current numbers to be honest.

Another good point. I was showing my optimistic viewpoint. I agree with your last sentence unfortunately.

The delivery of the Skywest 175's will take the large RJ's up to or within single digits of the 325 large RJ cap, as far I know.

I think almost every Major is "scoped out" with current orders.. XJT's best hope is in 2019+ that something changes.. but not likely. They will be small enough to fold in SkyWest without much effort by then.. ive heard SkyWest say the cost to get the 175 on property was over 2x what they budgeted.. doubtful they would spend that again to get a program for XJT with majors scope issues..

I think Delta's scope grows with the number of small narrow body aircraft they add. If they start operating the
C-series it will allow more large RJs up to an overall cap, not sure on the numbers though.

Scope Changes
 
Does anyone know the current scope at Delta as of the latest contract? I know management proposed relaxing it in September, but did not hear the result in the recently signed C16. Last I heard was 125 fifty sweaters and 223 dual class below 86,000.

No scope change.. not sure if they get C series how that effects it..

It does not, that was exclusive to the 717 deal.
