Come on, this statement is terribly misleading. There is a single CR9 on the MSP-DCA route now. All other flights are A319/A320s. And a CR9 isn't great, but much better than the smaller CRJs. You made it sound like the route is a bunch of CR2s, which it is not.

This theory can't be supported given that legacy NW aircraft are flown 100% by NW crew and DL hasn't opened a slew of new crew stations in ATL/JFK/SLC. Sure, there are a few widebody routes that see A330s with tags from DTW or MSP. NW operated over a hundred CRJs before being acquired by DL.
I believe all the E175s are operated by Compass.

Actually in Nov it's 2 CR9's... and no more 757's... so lets look at things...
All 319's on Route - 112F, 756Y total 868 seats
5-319's, 2-CR9's - 104F, 668Y total 772 seats
Reduction of 7% of F seats, 12% of Y seats on route

Those tin cans are the pits...
Would this mean that the ratio of Y>F increased? Granted, there are fewer F seats and probably just as many elites to make this a mute point...
