Has there been an order for CR9s made public yet? I know we're all assuming that, just haven't heard it made official.
But yes the Delta network as a whole will see an immediate reduction in ASMs assuming the comair 50s are parked on 9/30. I didn't see anything about further capacity reductions this year in the Q2 reports however. Not sure how that plays out.
