Straight from the employee call in yesterday...
The new Delta aircraft are not coming from one of the US regional competitors and will have to go through reconfiguration to the Delta configuration before going on line. These aircraft will be equipped with two lavatories. As of right now GoJet sees these aircraft being operated within the current footprint of operation not adding any new route structures.

Yes coming from Lufthansa Cityline which means they are not new airplanes. All built in 2006.

Airlines are sooooooo worried about a pilot shortage,.......... that they keep ordering regional jets.

Doesn't make much sense, does it.

And keep in mind that you'll hear an announcement this week that another regional airline will be awarded an additional (new) 24 CRJ 900s, (no I won't say who).

Why would airlines continue to order RJ's if they're worried about a shortage of pilots to fly them.

Maybe it was the 25,600 people who took the ATP written in the first half of 2014 that has given the airlines the confidence to continue to bring-on RJ's, (although they won't admit that because they want to scare the government into lowering pilot minimums,...... so they can continue to pay rock-bottom wages to new hire pilots with rock-bottom experience).

Interesting, I thought that Delta was maxed out on 900's due to scope. I guess not! Good info. Anyone know how many more big RJs Delta can add if they're not maxed out according to scope yet?

The concession of 70 more large RJs in 2012 created this. They awarded the 40 to Pinacolaba pretty quickly, but the other 30 had been unaccounted for. I seem to remember Republic getting another 6-12 about 6 months to a year ago and now this bakers half dozen. There should still be 10-15 airframes not spoken for.
