No my friend, I just didn’t go into that much detail. If XJT parks 150 E135/145s and receives 75 E170/175s in return that's a net loss of around 75 frames with around 100 E-145s remaining in service. Which is about the number of XRs you have and those are darn good airplanes.

Of the 90ish at SkyWest Airlines we'll park 30-40 and they'll be replace by 15-20 51+ seat jets which is only a loss of 15-20 frames, we can absorb that. The bulk of the cuts will come from XJT but won’t come all at once. It will be over the next 2ish years which will allow for attrition to mitigate the loss in frames.
