I'm not saying I know how the trade will unfold, but using the numbers in the post you were responding to, I wouldn't shed a tear over a transaction that yields 60 new mainline airframes.
I'm sure the company will find more main line jets to park as the 737-900's arrive. Got to keep stagnation in place. It also means more lower paying seats as the 737 pays less than the 757.
