=30 remaining large RJs in Delta's Scope

As for these being "replacement" aircraft: they may be trading out one fleet at SKY for another at ASA but, these are additional aircraft when considering the size of the DCI fleet (regardless who operates them)

I'm not sure how far along Delta is in the 50 seat draw down, but if they're maxing out at 325 large RJ's, that only allows for 125 fiddys. According to DALs last 10-Q filing, they're operating 170 at the moment.
I don't know how many of the 170 are already slated to be parked.

Delta was over their JV limit and they continued to operate outside of the contract so in the end does it really matter what their scope says? This might be good news for Skywest but more RJ's operated by a contractor is bad in general for pilots and the industry.

My money is on Shuttle America losing some E-jets in the Delta suit. Why would they let Republic keep the better contract and drop the cheaper one?

Because Republic owns those planes. They may lose the flying and then just lease the AC to another carrier though. Depends what kind of relief is in the new TA being voted on at RAH.

Just heard from a pretty good source. Some/most will go to LA, same with the UA order and...........potentially Alaska 175's and or 700's. Sounds like they were right when they told the LA peeps not to worry about the Eagle airplanes. Good news for them if it works out.

A Delta expansion in LAX or is CP getting the boot?

I was told this by a reputable source as well. There will be a new 'small' bag locker/crew room/closet/ whatever you want to call it for skywest in the LAX delta terminal.
