Default Who is going to fly the Delta Shuttle?

Now that Delta has announced they will stop flying the DC-NYC shuttle on MD-80s and replace those aircrafts with the EMB-175 I wonder who is going to get that flying?

Is it going to be compass or RAH?

Whats the word out there?

Well since RAH has been doing it for a year I'd say... RAH.

In a perfect world it would go back to mainline on a bus, or one the new 73s....

S5 is doing the LGA-DCA routes that the 80s are not. Makes for an interesting pairing, back and forth all day.

Don't forget that Delta used to fly the DC9..so I wouldn't say this is the FIRST DC-9 in DL colors.
