Im honestly not sure why DL keeps buying CRJ's... AA and UAL are buying Ejets left and right, pax love em, and they are less restrictive to certain airports...a CRJ will always be a CRJ no matter how long the tube is...

51-70 seat max of 102
71-76 sea max of 223, once Endeavor takes delivery of their last CR9 DAL will have 193 76 seaters in service. DAL will have to park 50 seaters due to the addition of the last 30 76 seaters above 193 and the ratio is very steep, i believe it's close to 1 to 4 ratio. I am not in the DCI system so I don't keep as much track, but the E170 awarded to RAH are likely to be capacity being moved around the system and not additional lift. The flying will come at the expense of someone else as I believe Delta is maxed out on the 51-70 seat range with 102 airframes.

Easy....fuel burn. From what I've seen, the CRJ burns less fuel than the ERJ does.

They awarded E-170, that's a different seat range in the SCOPE section.

And we'd see a LOT more Q-400s flying around if it was all about fuel burn. I think Delta got a killer deal it couldn't refuse from Bombardier to buy all of those 900s. The Embraer is more expensive but there's a reason why. Pilots and passengers both say it's a better plane than the CRJ product.

Wouldn't a little diversity in the regional fleet be advantageous? Say an onerous AD targets the E-170/175 fleet, you can still have your CRJ fleet going strong and vice versa. Plus a major can use the competition between Bombardier and Embraer to get the best deal going forward? Yes, I realize Southwest and Alaska are single fleet types, but there have to be some disadvantages as well. And though the 175 is a nice ride, I don't think the -900 is *that* bad. Maybe that's just me.
