And there will never be replacements? We will only downsize and keep 325 large RJs? MD90s are coming, and eventually there could be 737 Max or A320 NEOs orders. Is that a hunch? Just like you saying older mainline will be parked someday, but not knowing when. Eventually there will probably be 3 total legacies and a few LCCs. There will be pressure to keep domestic flying a priority to compete with the other legacies. Obviously we are interested in smaller markets if DL is interested in 717s.
