Yup, and notice how they’ve walked away from the 220-100. All those orders are 300’s with 130 seats. The E2’s would be an appropriate regional replacement for United.

We can only hope for modernized narrow-bodies.

Delta is an animal domestically. Look at they're quarterly revenues domestically.

Mainly because Delta has the ultimate domestic hub, ATL. That and high yield LGA are why the A220 works.

DL doesn’t fly the A220 out of ATL that often, in fact I don’t think the plane flies there at all right now. just FWIW.

NY, SLC, SEA, and Texas are the places it seems to go most often

The 220 replaced RJs on a number of longer routes like JFK/LGA-DFW, routes that probably would have been on a 717 if it had the range. Also a lot of shorter hops on the west coast doing routes that look a lot like what Compass used to do on the 175. SLC-Idaho Falls was a fun A220 route this summer.

No kidding. Are there lots of 76 Seat Rjs in ATL?

They are all in NYC. 717 is ATL and 50 seater 200s less than 350 CRJ900 departures out of ATL for August

Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

9E has a handful of 70-seat CRJ900s and 69-seat CRJ-700s in ATL, so the number is a bit higher than 350. 9E has around 400 combined CRJ-700/900 ATL departures scheduled in August (compared with 1800 CRJ-200 departures scheduled). OO and YX have also been doing some DL flying on CRJ/ERJs but I’m not sure the breakdown of 50-70-76 seaters for the OO/YX flying.
