Delta contract ammendable in January 2010. SCOPE, SCOPE, SCOPE. If you limit regionals to 70 seats, they are limited to the CRJ-700/EMB-170 size aircraft. By allowing those extra 6 seats, now you open the door to the CRJ-900/EMB-175.
70 SEATS NEEDS TO BE THE MAXIMUM FLOWN BY REGIONALS. NOT 71, 72, BUT 70!!!
Continental is limited to 50. That is great.
American is limited to 70. Good
United is limited to 70. Good
Northwest and Delta are at 76. That is too high. Next contract, (January 2010 for Delta and December 2011 for Northwest), Northwest and Delta pilots need to push for one of the following options:

- 1. Limit RJ's to 70 seats. PERIOD! Get rid of these over 70 seat RJ's
- 2. Allow these CRJ-900/EMB-175's to be flown at the mainline
- 3. Grandfather in the CRJ-900/EMB-175's currently being flown at regionals, and not allow anymore aircraft over 70 seats to be placed at regionals
- 4. Add a maximum gross takeoff weight provision that will fend off these EMB-175 and CRJ-900 sized aircraft.
