Does anyone know if Delta is scheduled to get any of the new CRJ-1000 aircraft?

Not as of yet, but I would not be shocked if they ordered them. Or they may be waiting on the Bombardier C-Series instead.

Highly doubt it.

The seating of the CRJ-1000 will dicate that it has to be operated by mainline. DCI cannot operate any aircraft over 76 seats (any combination of first and coach that they want up to 76 seats). It will be a HIGH waste of time to operate the 1000 with 76 seats, athough they will be able to have more F seats than the 900. Also, Delta is approaching the limit of 76 seat aircraft that they can operate. So don't expect to see too much more -175 and -900 orders beyond what's already on the books in the near future.
