The Bombardier CRJ Series 200 50 seat jet they are talking about retiring. It's a fast jet with cruising up to 41,000 feet. Only thing is that I have found it to be too cramped and the windows so low a person has to bend way over to look out. The CRJ 700 and 900 are not like this. Therefore, getting rid of the CRJ 200s is a good idea. For a reason I don't know of, it cost more to fly on the smaller jets than the larger ones, why? Delta and some other airlines started using smaller jets to places like here at Colorado Springs in order order to charge we fliers more. Again, why? While American Airlines is not as bad, my number airline is Southwest. They use the latest Boeing 737s, keep their fleet well maintained, and their prices affordable with no hidden extra charges. Why can't all airlines be like them?

When did Delta buy ComAir??????

Raise the airline prices and get the bus people back on the bus where they belong.

Humm is this why they sued mesa-air and made all the false comments how odd now they are cutting all thew=se flight after winning all that moneylike 50 million

With all Delta's mergers, it has gone down the tube, especially with the elimination of non-stop flights to major cities.

Notice how those that rant against big business, corps, big oil, can't spell or form a coherent sentence? Not hard to brainwash them, and the lib gov't uses every opportunity.

Sometimes I take the Delta-Comair flights from Huntington to Cincinnati then to San Antonio. This is always a good trip and I like to go through the Cincinnati Donaldson terminal. I have often wondered if Douglas DC-9 - now Boeing 717 - had rebuilt and made the original DC-9 size of jet - 70 to 100 passengers with all the state of the art equipment, engines, and wind tunnel studies - if this size jet could be competitive with the Bombardier models. Obviously money, labor, and costs. I wonder how far Douglas could have continued building a resized, remodled, downsized back to the original size or most profitable sized model. This could have had the latest engines and electronics and been fitted up with airline service equipment. Built for long, efficient service, simple and easy to maintain and service. Possibly parts and retrofits could have included all rear engined jets, such as the Fokker 70, 100 series, F -28, BAC 1-11 and Caravelles.

live free or die!

it is sad to see americans lose their jobs! obama and his family need to go swimming in the healthy oil stricken waters! In 5 years their flesh will be falling off!

Com Air is NOT DELTA Air Lines. Two differently owned companies. Com Air employees are employed by Com Air NOT Delta. The Planes are not owned by Delta. Get your facts straight AOL news! I use to be Operation Manager for Delta. So the NEWS is Delta is not cutting JOBS nor Air Craft. Com Air is!
