Just my two cents.

Here is what I know.... RAH/Shuttle has a contract for 16 E-175s that start delivery in about 60 days for Delta flying. Shuttle has seen NO decrease in Delta connection flying ...yet... at least not on the 170 platform. What the future beyond that holds I dont know. I just fly them.

We also know that mgmt has, on more than one occasion, reported the 50 seat Rj's are not making money with the high fuel prices. The only consistent thing I've ever seen out of airline mgmt is they like to make money. Anyone with 50 seaters as the majority of their fleet should be sweating bullets right now.

While I totally agree with you, and I thought that us at 9E would stand to lose a great deal of flying someone thinks we are wrong...

Well....with the 135's and -200 that are slated to go away...and the 175's coming and on order.... we will be more than 50% 70 seat aircraft by this time next year. Even now its probably 55/45 percent or close to it.
