How many 50 seaters are flying under F9 colors NOW? Zero? 70 seaters? Three for the moment until BB can get them under DAL colors. 190s? 10 for now but management is looking to get their equity back out of them.

The only thing solidly profitable in branded service is the 320. JetBlue figured it out too, and is converting their fleet plan to increase 321s and reduce 190s. This isn't a negotiating strategy. This is a dead slow economy coupled with a business space (FFD) that suddenly became crowded.
