60-70 is the number that they are telling everyone. Growth is coming back, (kinda) the 200's will be back out of the sand this fall. Buying two sims for 200's alone is not a small price tag.

Someone had better tell ASA and Skywest that they have to park their 200s in that case.

It is my understanding that there is a long-term plan that Delta has for Endeavor. The needs of the company in the next few years for pilots will be extremely high as the hiring now is for expansion and hasn't really been for attrition due to retirements.
Endeavor, is a way to "train" pilots to fill their needs, so when brought to mainline, it is simply a new type that the candidate is training for as the "Delta" way would already be a part of their DNA.
They are full steam ahead with changing the current SOP's to match theirs, as the changes are evident with the 900’s and still being modified.
What all the naysayers need to understand is Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan are dead. Delta wanted to start a regional up and did it by buying an AOC and some assets. So let the ghosts of airline’s past rest in peace, Endeavor is a new beast that will rule the roost, so get in on the ground floor because it will be a Meteoric rise!

It is gauged off of 76 seaters which are gauged off of 717s.

Delta pilots are free to merge with Endeavor if they want to remedy any scope violation. So..............

Truth be told that is in fact true, but you know these colloquialisms. So lets replace it with a more apt "Rise like a Phoenix!"

Yes, and no. The additional 200's will lower the amount of 76 seaters, Delta is upping the number of 717's, and the block hour limits are being complied with. So additional 200's over 125 are allowed, for now.

DL upping the number of 717's has no bearing on this as the max amount of 76 seaters is gauged off of a 88 717s. Going above that number has no effect on the amount of RJs permitted.

How many 76 seaters are there now (and planned to be) in the system? That determines the max amount of 50 seaters (which drops to 125 with the 223rd aircraft).

It's no small secret that the company's plan is for 100 CRJ-200s in the system... I heard it straight from RA at a meeting about a month ago. They are looking at getting even more 717s on top of the additional 5 we just purchased due to the instability of the regionals.

Furthermore, management tells you what you want to hear, this is an airline for God sakes. You have to watch their actions.
