Meanwhile American is desperately trying to add 76 seaters flown by their regionals.

Isnt subsidized flying rebid annually?
I think Delta is trying to be ready as they and other mainlines hire more
pilots from the regionals than the regionals can replace. Replace 2 or 3
50 seaters with C-series as regionals cant staff them, the 50's that is.
The regionals aren't going away any time soon and probably never.
All it is is codeshareing. If they can get someone else to fly to Podunk and connect on their A/C great. Keeps them from driving to the city and getting on a LCC.

United already did this by ordering 65 737s to replace regional routes. The future at regionals is looking darker and darker

Good, that means you'll get to the majors even faster.

Looking for a laugh

FWIW, supposedly these are slated for delivery as regional ASAs are sunsetted in two years.

This announcement is awesome news for all of us. I can't see how this could negatively impact us in any way. The more regional flying that gets swallowed up by the majors, the better.
