I don't get all the angst either. There will be 3 or 4 C series bases within 2 years of the intro into service. LAX and NYC will either open together or one or the other will open on the 2nd bid. As for how the aircraft will be used the company has stated it will be mostly used to replace large RJ's.

I know this has been discussed at length (especially the cheaper derated engine options) but why use the CS100 to replace large RJs when 717s can be used for that purpose? Although the CS100 will be more efficient and more comfortable for business travelers than the 717, I still don't see the CS100 and 717 occupying the same space other than having comparable seat counts. No doubt the CS100 will be well liked by passengers and profits will improve on the shorter flights with the improved fuel efficiency. It will be a great airplane for Delta.
That said, I really do think an initial CS300 order (like Air Canada's and Korean's CS300 orders) would have made more sense since the 717 can handle the 1,000-mile, 100 seat regional markets....

And the CEO said it was meant to replace 76 seat rjs.

We expect it to be Delta cheap and stall.
Fwiw the c100 is not the only new thing we bought cheap, the 350s according to those in the know who talk a lot they went cheap on that thing too.

It was sorta embarassing when center would clear us lat/long and "um..we just have two VOR's...Sorry." (The mighty DC-10.)

Butt like sailing said, he's never heard of anyone putting performance restrictions on an aircraft to get money off. And thats probably true. Until now.
SWA be like ****, that's a good one.
