Also, I think 425 is the "end state" limit which is not fully in effect if/until management exercises their option to operate more 76 seaters at DCI. I'm sure they'll do it, but the delivery of a 76 seater is what triggers the requirement to reduce the DCI fleet count - ie park 50 seaters.

They also must take delivery of 1.25 717's for every one 76 seater they want to operate. As the 717's aren't slated to show up until mid-2013, they still have plenty of time to announce where the 76 seaters are going.

*It should be noted that there was no limit in the previous PWA either.
