After pinnacle is at 111 900's which was a 2:1 swap with 900s and 200s, they will be sold off for huge delta profits. Delta is a very smart company and industry leader in new ways to get things done.
The 900's can only follow the dilevery of the 717's. So they can not just "quick" stack the airline with 111 -900's. But yes the "end game" will be to sell them for a profit...
