Delta Converts 777s to LRs and orders 73Gs

[wings396]

The EMB190 is the 100 seat aircraft. It is scope protected and would be flown by DL pilots. DL connection flying is limited to 76 seats.

Based on what I have seen with the 170's, and the trouble B6 had with the 190's, I would stay away from both types. When I worked the 170, it was a complete piece of crap from a ground service perspective. Does Boeing still offer the 737-500, which was just above the 100 seat capacity? I recall that UA had them, and they were supposed to be the updated version of the 737-200. To me the 170's and 190's are the Airbus's of the RJ world..

I wasn't trying to infer that DL has made a decision on the 100 seat aircraft type. I was merely pointing out that any aircraft over 76 seats is to be flown by DL pilots and would in fact require additional mainline DL pilots.
