I hope they do this, though.... but in my talks with "captain" AG (
), he doesn't think RJs should be at mainline at the payrates we have on them now. 
No bueno!

Delta pilots fly RJ's? To quote one of my recent Captains... "I don't want to fly RJ's." This was in response to me telling him that the 70 new large RJ's should be flown by Delta pilots. So to answer your question... No. They'll be flown by the regionals, of course.

Anybody see the Reuters story that said Trainer is supposed to make a $300 million yearly profit with a $16 crack spread?
It went on to say that the current Brent crack is roughly $20, and the Bakken is running about $42!
The gain is roughly $18.75 mil per dollar of crack.
$20 crack would yield $375 mil yearly
$42 crack would yield $787.5 mil yearly
If UAL wants to buy a refinery we should either buy it to capture the "20% domestic and whatever % international", or bid it up high so UAL massively overpays.

In an image search for "crack spread" you also get charts, graphs and butts.

They already got you covered there. The definition of seats permitted is reference an "aircraft" without reference to power plant.

WRT to the new 717's--thank you Southwest...
"And what Richard said on the check airplane check is exactly right, they’re fresh out of check as we receive them, of whatever their next check due was."

"And the cost related to putting them in the Delta configuration with Delta seats, Delta delivery, Delta interior product, fresh overhaul, paint job and all the reliability mods, the airplane is delivered to us in that condition so that cost is not ours."
