Yes. That's because the increase in 76 aircraft will require 50 seaters to be parked. As each 76 seat aircraft comes on line, a contractual amount of 50 seaters will be removed.

So does that mean if this TA passes that there will have to be 58 UAX airframes parked to put it under the new cap OR are they grandfathered in?
