As i read it. The 757 and 320 retirements should be offset by 737 deliveries. If, however the company accelerates aircraft retirement creating less mainline block hours, the number if rj's (block hours) need to be reduced accordingly. This is a great provisions because is keeps the company from shrinking mainline domestic block hours and supplementing the flying with rj's.
