BTW Do you know when all the 170s are gone from branded flying?
Mark my words though, the IBT is going to scream murder when those numbers come out that BB is cooking the books as they try to continue contract negotiations for the 4 or 5 year.
They were supposed to be off this summer, July I think? I'm sure we will use them up to the last possible moment before DL takes them to paint. I know there's a few left bouncing around MKE but as they leave those routes are either being eliminated or giving to the 145. Elimination of routes is not good business right now either while others are expanding. Especially RDU, BDL hell even ATW is getting more flying from others but we are ending service. Go figure.
