Wonder if some of them are earmarked for JB's coming invasion.

Hoping against hope. Did not happen this round and won't happen next. I suspect they will announce a new version with the xisting engines but some of the airframe improvements that will meet the 86,000lb rule.

But we own, 100%, the code. We don't split it with the company; its ours. If they want to fly DL code, they must do so IAW our CBA. That means within the limits of the permitted exceptions we allow them, or it must be flown by our pilots. The company has no choice in the matter, and neither does SKYW.

They won't get built without the US market.

The 175e2 has a bit of a stretch in it, so maybe they can meet the rule just by removing the stretch. Keep the new wing, engines, etc

The stretch isn't needed for 76 seats anyways.

No point in it. The aircraft would probably be less efficient then using the current engines. They are sized for the 90 seater.

Yes, but ATL launched it's new competition in ATL initiative on September 30 2016. Do you think they are going to award those gates to Delta when they are currently trying to leverage Delta out of gates in ATL?

Delta would lose a few but retain most. They have a bit of clout in the Atlanta area.
