Exactly, also as RJs get parked mainline airframes could grow and still be "capacity neutral", if we just replace 1 mainline aircraft for 3 rjs's your still even on capacity
My guess for Memphis is DC9 category obviously closes and the 320 base will remain replacing dc9 flying. Trips will be like they are now, they start the trip in Memphis and go fly throughout the system where needed only to return on the last day. Lots will filter through Atlanta and NYC, we'll see
