I think we would be better served to look at the "70's and 76's coming off of financial commitments" (49 by end of 2018).
1)Lowering the DCI cap by that many aircraft 76's, 70's or 50's(company choice).
Allowing the rest of the 50's to be swapped 2.5:1 for more 70's or 3:1 for more 76's.
2)Dropping the caps respectively (that would result in a DCI cap between 317-401).
3)The ratio would have to go up more than the present rise rate, it is too low IMHO

We can call the MEC office, I'm sure they can assure you of whatever that is.

I do NOT want to see any GTF or other "next-gen" powerplant at DCI and will direct my input appropriately.
I won't consider any widebodies in this, it has to be domestic flying... and I'm done swapping mainline jets for caps, they will be in the zone where they can retire whatever fleet they want in a timely fashion by that point. More 777's would be nice to see however.
