Anyone able to view that web conference on Thurs where DAL mentioned its plan for regional feed?
-Can't load it for some reason....
 
Not yet.
They can also buy more 70's if they want to.
Also for every mainline jet we get DCI gets three more 76 seaters.
So 10 777 and 15 737-700's equals 75 more 76 seat jets.
Up to 255 total.

I assume they are retiring 88's at the same time? I understand the 3 more 76 for 1 mainline is off of a base fleet number. The more 70-76 seats the less major jobs :-( oh well I guess we all have that pilot shortage to look forward too.

By my count here is whats flying now or scheduled to be delivered:

Comair = 18
Pinnacle = 16
Mesa = 14
Mesaba = 36
Compass = 36

That totals 120 76-seaters. I have heard that Skywest has also converted their -900s to the 76 seat configuration instead of 70 seats.

I wouldn't expect fleet growth after the merger. One thing that has never happened in the history of airlines is a net increase in capacity after a merger.

I would agree that the 70 seat market is still wide open for a good number of those aircraft to go into service. I would expect to see an additional pull down of 50-seaters in exchange for 70-seaters.

What I can't figure is how come they are giving all the growth to Pinnacle-I mean, really? Are you serious? Let's be frank, there are better options with a much better reputation.....

From a corporate perspective what are the better options?
