I'm still questioning myself why MKE-DTW still gets some CR2 flights while there's other flights on aircraft up to 3 to 4 times bigger than one of those seat-filled bear cans on the same exact route. MSN-DTW doesnt get any CR2 flights and MSN is a smaller airport than MKE. And from looking at the schedule on a random date every month there's always a CR9 flight and then a CR2 flight departing about an hour later in the early morning hours. If a CR9 has a 76 seats and a CR2 has 50 seats, that equals 126 combined which is the exact same capacity as an A319. The A319 and the CR9 have the same amount of F seats. And the CR2 and the CR9 combined have about the same amount of prefered or C+ seats on an A319. Just stating some more proof here.
Why does DL still have CR2s operating frequently between SLC and places like SFO and LAX (and other SoCal destinations like SAN and ONT), when they also have 739s, 752s, and Airbuses all day long on those same route. And routes like SLC-IDA usually have CR7s and CR9s?
