This ain't mainline pax loads we are talking about. You need to think small outstation regional operations. Delta is choosing between very few 220 flights that may or may not reach break even point OR more than a handful of 200 flights throughout the day that can easily fill up with a low break even point. Pax don't like the plane but the frequency is appreciated.
