Yep, they want to park a ton of em. They are inefficient, costly, and do not carry the loads they need to. As ED stated, the customers hate em, and we want to find a solution to them.

I am sure they want more 70+ seaters to fill the gap, but they are also looking at the 717 or 320 series as a replacement for these jets. The negotiators will deal with this in the way we have demanded. I suspect we will see something definitive on the mainline jets shortly. On top of this DAL has gate constraint issues with the frequency model, and they need to find a way to keep the same amount of seats to a city while reducing frequency.
