Uh no. Overall downsizing maybe, but not death. Especially for 9E. 9E will grow. Maybe Republic will lose Delta tho.

Yea and maybe mainline will staple us all to the bottom of their list. Pilots are worse than school girls with the rumors and speculation. Nobody at our level has any clue what’s going to happen.

Ultimately the A220 and E-2 series are going to be bought because the can service a small niche more efficiently than anything else can serve that niche. Unless there is another big recession that forces mainline pilots unions to yield up scope, these aircraft, at least those over 76 pax, will be flown at mainline. To the extent that these aircraft can increase the flying done by the public, we all benefit, because they'll become the entry level mainline equipment that will be filled - at least at the FO level - by new hires. There will still be communities where smaller jets - even 50 seaters - can still be economically competitive but increasing salaries and bonuses (and training costs) will decrease the current advantage regional's have in crew costs.

Basically, it isn't the A220 or E-2s, it will be the economics that determine the fate of the regional's.

For the same reason you speculate the A220 is killing Endeavor. I felt like spouting some random BS. 9E is growing though but YX won't lose Delta. Just poking the bear.

Because 9e guys are starting to feel special. They’ve apparently forgotten about Comair and ASA.

According to DAL, the Bombardier C was to be replacing larger than 50 seat RJs, so those Larger RJs could be replacing 50 seat RJs, thus upgauging the fleet.

It does, however, have a VERY long range, so it could do many flights that were impossible on any RJ (or MD-88/MD-90/B-717), and even some small Airbuses and the Boeing 737, I believe. An example that Bombardier used, was a typical load nonstop from London City airport to Montreal using the smaller CS-100

I second that motion. That's why I just do my 8 and hit the gate.
