I also guess no B777s or 748s? Or more 737s?

I think this kind of points to the 717 more than it does getting the E190 or small C-Series over at DCI. It'd be super clear if we just ever heard the words "we will not have any increase in the size of DCI jets or fleets." It really makes you scratch your head not to see that articulated more clearly because anything less is to say we'll use it as a bargaining chip.

I also don't quite understand why we would sublease aircraft from someone who was leasing it? Why have Delta pilots fly Skywest airplanes. Money has to come from DAL to pay Skywest to pay those leases. I guess I just don't get how that scheme would be advantageous over subleasing them from Wells Fargo or whomever it is directly. Not to mention we're saying we're going to buy 100 739s in cash if I'm not mistaken.
