Also, was my last post incorrect? I thought that was how events went down.
RAH is going to have a tough time staffing AAs 53 new planes let alone be a 9E replacement. It's unrealistic to do within a year. More realistic would be 2-3 years, which is what the -200 winddown is to begin with. Just 41 planes left, and the new order for 40 planes as a carrot to vote yes. But even this will take through 2016. A fleet that big cannot be parked in 12 months. Look at the current fleet plan.
