I doubt the CRJ200s will become economically feasible all of a sudden with the current oil price situation and the economy. They still have their use but they are on their way out in the next 5 years or so. However, I do see some CRJ200s being reshuffled from one DCI carrier to another by DAL to serve small markets for the next few years.
CRJ7s, E170/175s and CRJ9s are interim gap measures until 100 seat jets become available. DAL management will surely try to discuss 100 seat flying going to DCI in the near future. I hope DALPA can succeed in keeping 76 seat plus flying whether they are turboprops or jets at mainline DAL.

The first time was purely a negotiating strategy to complete the 03/04 pilot contract. While what is happening now is tragic the whole shamacy was an utter nightmare.
BTW, these next 13 and most of the first 10 SAABs aren't leaving until 2010 so we are going the slow painful death route.

Hate to say this cause I have many buddies at XJ...
But I have a buddy at at Delta that works in DCI planning in SOC in ATL, and he says the samething that the FARANG is saying...
major cuts at Comair and XJ, and that XJ will be an only 900 operation in the future.. didnt ask the time frame.
No flame, just passing info.
He also had the same info about the saabs months ago.

Fuel might have made them innefficient but the fact that everyone tried dumping them at the same time is making them attractive again.

Everyone has a buddy somewhere that thinks they know something about everything.
