I have no idea. Parker has said that when you are a company even the size of the current US that the cost of operating lots of fleet types is outweighed by things like power in supplier contracts and fleet/route flexibility. I imagine there will be some pretty significant cost analysis going on.

By the time we are all put together our 330-300 will be a little long in the tooth. I imagine you will see lots of coming and going of new and old airplanes even in the fleets they keep. We are getting rid of the older A320s out west now and they at time return newer A/C is they can get better deals.

The E190 is a small fleet, but they pushed hard for the low rates on it. Will be interesting to see what happens with them.
