Probably.

Per the ASA purchase agreement, SKW Inc. is entitled to a large percentage (40% I think) of all future DAL regional growth. This does not include the re-shuffling that is occuring amongst the existing carriers.

I hope they actually get them and open a MCI domicile as well. I think we've seen our last Delta aircraft though.

The 900s would be in the 70 configuration, as the 700 and 900 burn the same amount of fuel but allow for 10klbs more of load.

As for the Midwest flying, from speaking with people in SGU I've been told that Midwest is VERY happy with the way the flying is going. There was an interview with the CEO of midwest and he said that the RJ flying had exceded their expectations.

The new rumor is that the addition 10 200s would work out of Kansas City.

What are you talking about? All 900's will be in a 76 seat config. And the 900's do burn more than the 700's. Better ask your dad again.

Read the SOP again, the burn per hour in cruise on the 700 and 900 are the same

First do you fly the crj? According to skyw's 200/700/900 differences quick reference card, the 700 burns 4300 lbs its first hour and 3500 the second. The 900 burns 4800 its first hour and 3800 the second.

Like usual you have no clue what you are talking about. Before you post please research a little.
