IF... Delta wants it to be flown at the connection level.
Then, you will see those aircraft on a ramp near you, painted in Delta colors, flying our passengers. Unless, of course, ALPA steps up and... well, nevermind....
I agree that SkyW has tipped their hand. They can't be that blind. I mean if they want to buy a 76 seat model, and use it to replace CRJ-900s, then fine. I can spend $130 on that.
Pinnacle, IMHO, will be the windfall candidate for the new 900s. With DAL management firmly in control of their costs, there's no reason to even need a whipsaw. "Do it for this, or else". I don't see why anyone would even question that. We all know that they treat us the same way sometimes. The PNCL Creditors committee will extract maximum return with the most flying - and they will posture PNCL to get the most bang for their investment dollar.
We need some quotes from Airplane! See a broad to get dat booty yak em...

Personally, I don't see this as time critical and as I understand it, they have only been briefed on the base percentages and nothing else. The rest of the brief would come at the August meeting.
Of course if the chairman decided to publish the numbers without direction and it happened to make certain reps look bad, there would be an outcry by the usual suspects trashing him.
The beauty of this board is that you certainly can have it both ways.

I voted no. I never bought into the sales job that 70 more large rj's is good for us.
