All this is another part of why this conversation is going on at Pinnacle... once the 88 717s are taken (raising quite a few more mainline jobs than there are today, too), it is more than one airline's worth of 50 seaters that have to be parked, and they seem to be intent on dumping them even earlier than required (a major reason why I voted no on the TA, but that's water under the bridge) .
