It's subject to change, but that dodging the issue is the highest liklihood for how it will transpire.

While aircraft are being replaced, it should not be discounted that in the same breath the mainline fleet is planned to grow from around 720 to 796. If you discount one, you have to discount the other.

It's quite possible that 3209-3249 are parked, but there has not been any official statement released to the pilot group. That's been my entire point.
