When it’s time, it will be 22 more 700s and 7 900s.

It was my understanding that DAL does not own those 900s?

That is true, but what is Gojet going to do with those 900s if they completely lose Delta connection flying? Who wants to own an aircraft type you can't fly. Unless they convert them to CRJ550XLRs for UA Express😉. Even if they did that or hung onto those Crj900s for some reason there still would be 7 large RJ to replace for Delta connection flying under Deltas scope. Sure its possible it could be replaced with new ERJ175s, but if Delta decides they want 9E to continue that flying I'm sure it will be with CRJ900s. If that's the case and Gojet dont give up their 900s I'm sure Delta could find used CRJ900s somewhere on this planet or at a big stretch order new ones. I guess they could order 7 new E175s for Skywest and swap them out with their CRJ900s and send those aircraft 9Es way.
Who knows it's the wonderful world of regional flying. Hang on to your "Hats"😄

SkyWest has about 5 they are returning to the leaser.. the other 5 they're subleasing to Air Canada jazz..

Delta has a nack for finding used aircraft to lease...

True, but DAL has PQs at OO. They continue to buy Atmospheres for OO. Why buy or lease G7 birds? They already have DAL branded birds they are phasing out on the OO side to maintain scope.
Even more so, why would any of these birds come to 9E?

Can’t wait for the influx of APU MELs we are gonna get when these old birds come here. Now we can all pretend to be 200 drivers.

IIRC it was less than 10 Atmospheres. I haven’t heard of any more announced. Are they even making any more of them at this time?

Ground Point9er

Aren't those Atmosphere variants at OO reduced seat CRJ900SCs versions that replaced some of OO's older CRJ700s?

gojo

That was the story management told. Again, I’m not sure of the number of planes

They ordered 20 to be put at OO. Currently they have 11 of them on property. Bombardier is no longer accepting orders and will end production by the second half of 2020 when they have the current order book delivered.
