Yes, I believe that number accounts for all ATR's. My guess is they don't want to lose much, if any market share during the reorganization and thus, renogotiate short-term leases that allow for a replacement schedule. Of course, replaced aircraft may not be 1-for-1 or even be destined for the current American Eagle, but another carrier DBA as "American Eagle", financed by themselves. I doubt the judge will allow any new aircraft orders to be placed while AMR is in reorganization, but there is something in the wind of future feed aircraft for AMR that may have been either done prior to filing or perhaps a deal of intent through a third party-carrier, pending scope changes at AA.

My guess is actual replacement wouldn't occur until after exiting chapter 11 though.
