Delta just purchased the Bombardier C100. The aircraft brings some new performance options not seen in this segment. It has the capability to depart STT at max gross weight and make almost any destination in the US. STT-LAX would be possible. In addition with only a short runway length increase at EIS it could serve most Eastern US markets. Initially it is planned as a replacement for outsourced RJ flying but it's unique performance gives route planners a tool they have not had before.
