Thank your management for providing a better product. I could buy a ticket on United and enjoy a 2 hr flight on a E175 and then connect to a 2 hr flight on a CRJ 200, or I can spend the same money on the competition and ride on an A319 and a B717. It’s a pretty easy choice.

Both of your posts were very informative. Thank you very little. So what your saying is you can fly direct to a from any city on a mainline plane. Why do they even have Delta Connection? Lets see rando city pair, PWM-LGA-PIT. NOPE, no mainline! SO what's your point again?

I think that SK is being honest with regard to the 50 seaters. Most of those airplanes are fairly old with a tremendous amount of cycles on each airframe. They’re not built like a 727. Also the lack of amenities like WiFi will help their egress out of our UAX fleet. Our customers have become accustomed to certain amenities and the 50 seaters don’t have that. Plus, they are constantly weight restricted.
I keep on holding out hope that Boeing discards the whole Guppious Maximus 10 idea. That’s about the dumbest idea ever with an airplane!!!

My point is that the odds of having a comfortable ride domestically are greater on Delta than United, especially to the smaller markets. They have the A220, 175’s, and just a handful of 50 seaters left to cover their small markets. We have no mainline 100 seat aircraft, fewer 175’s, and almost 300 of the 50 seaters running around. I enjoy earning a paycheck from United, but for right now, I’ll spend my money on Delta. Same dollars and a better ride for where I want to go. I’d much rather support United, but if it means 2 hours on a 50 seat jet, I’ll support our competition.

I’m not saying they’ll still be around in 3 years but there’s no imminent reason they have to go. They still make sense on short routes for frequency unless embraer delivers a next gen turboprop and a good media campaign.
