We also hold options for 30 more 737's. the fleet plan has us parking 85 757's in that period. There will be some A320's parked in Addition to the 757's however the net gain in airframes should be around 130 hulls. That number includes the 90's not yet in service.
Sailing, I listened to Richards interview with Bloomberg and heard him say we would be down to 100 50 seat RJ's as well.

My question is how many 90's are left to be added? Also interesting that ATL concourse A&B have freshly painted lines for the 321
