Not phased out, but not replacing them with anything other than CRJ-900 and EMB 175s. About 50% less DC-9s then there were 10 years ago....slowing going away. IMHO one more sideletter where we give the company permission to put full 86 seats in the CRJ-900 (vice scoped 76 seats) and we'll be on our way to dropping all DC-9s.
