I would absolutely LOVE to see sun-setting on all DCI.
If a large percentage of the DCI fleet is new 76-seat aircraft, a sunset will not happen in 2.75 years. The new aircraft that TA 2012 lets under the tent could be here well into the 2030s.
Parking new aircraft will be too expensive for the beancounters, just like parking the 50s are today.
