The 900 could carry 3,000 gallons (barely) but I can't imagine that they would even consider doing a gear-up with that much fuel on board (they would be way over landing weight not mention the fire hazard). 3000 pounds is a normal landing number.

Those guys did a great job, including the flight attendants.
Anyone else notice that because it was a good outcome it's a Delta flight, however, God forbid had it been a negative outcome then all of the sudden it would have been ASA. Gotta love the media and the Delta PR machine that feeds it.
And by the way, I'm not trying to start a Regional vs. Major argument. Simply, how it's ok to be called by your legacy partner's name when you have a good outcome, and complete detachment of responsibility when you have a negative outcome.
