Do the ratios guarantee growth or just no more stagnation?

If the company gets all 88 717's and exercises all options for the 76 seat platform, what will mainlines fleet count be? DCI?

If you are unwilling or unable to answer the above question; given the ratios and known fleet plan at mainline, how many growth 717's would we be getting over current mainline jet count?

A follow on:
What is the expected ratio of mainline growth to newly allowed 76 seat jets. Less than 1:1 in favor of DCI? Better than 1:1? If so by how much?

What these ratios seems to imply is one "growth" snb to every newly allowed large 76 seat jet. The numbers guys are saying best case we see a fleet of about 770 or about where we were at SOC.

Please show your work. I am curious about this and what real growth if any this will result in with the work rule changes.

Thanks,
