According to DAL, the Bombardier C was to be replacing larger than 50 seat RJs, so those Larger RJs could be replacing 50 seat RJs, thus upgauging the fleet.
It does, however, have a VERY long range, so it could do many flights that were impossible on any RJ (or MD-88/MD-90/B-717), and even some small Airbuses and the Boeing 737, I believe. An example that Bombardier used, was a typical load nonstop from London City airport to Montreal using the smaller CS-100.

- and before it is brought up, I know that management has gone back and forth to individuals within the group on what these new Ejets are for.. what my group was told is that these a/c are for growth. Jury is still out

I apologize. What I meant, specifically, is what are the groups thoughts on this a/c (and possible E2 mainline flying, assuming no budging of scope) reducing the need, and essentially the growth of the company as the a220 becomes more prevalent. Of course, the a/c has to prove to be profitable, along with a list of other "what if's" for that to happen... I just worry about the coincidental timing of this a/c and our "tentative" growth with the 100-200 potential E170s

As for our airplanes - keep in mind we still haven't publicly announced that we've ordered anything at all. The big announcement in July was for a letter of intent to order 100 airplanes. Until they are ordered that means absolutely nothing.
