It may be more 200s, but with the amount of NY flying- now and projected- they are probably shrinking NY.

The 200 is a bad penny that keeps turning up. It’s cheap, it’s paid for, it’s plentifully available. It’s not going anywhere.

Under the current scope, the 200 can't go away as long as DL wants as much flying as possible to be done by regionals.

Technically the 50 seat market won’t go away due to scope. But why just the 200 with another 50 seat option?

GoJet is flying the crap out of their 550s, a 50 seat two-class 700...

I believe scope would allow for a properly utilized 550 at DL. I could even see some markets for a 50 seat premium seat market in some cases. The choke point is the 550/700 is out of production, thus it has limited utility and availability to be a 200 replacement.

Man. 2020 just keeps on giving doesn't it. Anyone who flew this morning knows what I'm talking about.

The mighty Deuce is paid for and cheaper to operate than a 550 for the same pax load. When people start clicking on flights based on equipment, the 550 will win that battle. But when is that?

According to this DCI should be flying the maximum allowed 50 seat RJs (125). They are not, and there are no plans to fly the max 125 according to DG
