With regional pay rising, the cost differential between an RJ operator flying a route and mainline flying it. Add in more efficient aircraft that are too heavy for scope and the costs narrow even further. A few pounds in this case is a big deal, and it could be very good for the industry overall.

I can assure you if Delta gets the ability to outsource the MRJ-90 we can kiss the 717’s goodbye when the leases are up.

The CS100 and 300 will replace the 717. The MRJ 70 and 90 would replace the CRJ700 and 900 along with the EMB 170 and
175.
If you could exchange Wt for number of MRJ’s. Seems like a compromise could be made.
Right now around 325 69-76 seaters. Why not try to reduce that number to around 200 Or so. I seriously doubt Mgt would
Go for it though.
