Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson told employees Friday that they should expect to hear next week about changes to the airline's operations -- a result of the current high fuel prices.
However, this could mean more RJ flying.
Possibly more RJ flying. Just looking at the schedule, I already see a couple cities where RJs or E-jets are doing flying that used to be done by mad-dogs.
I think that for all the rancor about the demise of the RJ, it's still cheaper to send an RJ somewhere than an MD. If the overall profit margin for a flight, even with relatively higher fuel costs, is higher on a specific type of equipment, that's the equipment that I would suspect would get the route.
Once again, why are the ATRs going away?
