How many 70-76 seaters at DAL?

[nwaredtail]

Does anyone know the breakdown of 70 and 76 seaters working for Delta and which companies do what? Trying to get a grasp on scope. Also, how many seats in the CRJ900 are allowed?

Here's information from our employers' web sites.

Here's my notes. Looks like a cut and paste of the pre existing DAL and NWA scope. You need to do your own due dilligence and I'll defer to official sources if there is any disparity.

Section 1 B 40 c

Permitted Aircraft Types now includes 255, 51 to 70 seat RJ’s (up from 200) and 120, 71 to 76 seat RJ’s (up from 30).

The number of 76 seat jets may be increased on a 3 to 1 ratio for every aircraft added above a mainline base fleet number.

Baseline fleet now 440 (no change, actual 446) + number of aircraft added from NWA’s fleet (who knows what this will be? Current 356, but at least 28 getting cut ASAP)

In no case may the increase & allowed exceed 255.

Section 1 B 40 e

76 to 70 conversion trigger moved from pilot with seniority 1 June 2006 back to 1 September 2001. Exception – if Flow though provisions NWA LOA 2006-10 and LOA 2006-14 cease to be available the number of permitted 76 seat jets reverts to 85 (likely reconfig of 35 jets)

Question:

“Does certificated in the United States” make a difference in light of cabotage?

Section 1 E 2

Codeshare allowed up to 50% of seats on foreign air carriers
No more than average of 175 seats per flight segment trans oceanic
No more than 100 seats North, Central, South America
Company must fly 85% of NRT slots

Alaska Airlines provisions

Section 1 Q – Hawaiian Marketing agreement
Section 1 C does not apply to Hawaiian Marketing Agreement, within the State of Hawaii
No transfer of airplanes between certificates unless at arms length (labor protection provisions are interesting)
No hiring of Hawaiian pilots during cooling off period
No transfer of Delta code

As always, IMHO we need to get the E175/E190 on the mainline list and capture that DC9 replacement flying. One list with Compass.

SKYW Numbers

Does anyone know the breakdown of 70 and 76 seaters working for Delta and which companies do what? Trying to get a grasp on scope. Also, how many seats in the CRJ900 are allowed?

Just going off of what is shown on the public SKYW website, there are 13 CRJ-700 and 17 CRJ-900 on the Delta side. They show seating configurations of 6 First and 60 coach in the 700 and 10 First and 60 coach in the 900.
****
ASA is showing 39 CRJ-700 (single class with 70?).

All SKYW 700's are single class, 70 seats, on the DL side at least.

Thanks. What threw me was the picture of the aircraft on the 2 class page was in Delta colors.

Anyone know where to find a picture of the SkyWest Anniversary jet with the Coolaid Captain, IPOD, Doc Maartens and Spiky Hair? That picture was my all time favorite funny post on FlightInfo.

Uh, I don't think it was a one time only deal, you're likely to find that same "picture" any day of the week.
