Doh! I'm awake now I swear.

What Delta does have the ability to do is bounce their 50 seat fleet from domicile to domicile every 90 days for the next two years at a 75% reduction in block hours. Think they can't cease the 50 seat operation early? This guy's just trying to keep the stock price from imploding anyway.
