Which is further proof of just how much of a drag on the bottom line those 50 seaters really are. They are parking planes they don't even have to park. That should tell you something about their economics and the real long term plan they had for them all along. Gotta give them credit though....they traded a bunch of beat up old Ford Pintos that needed engine overhauls...that were headed for the junkyard for some shiny new ones under C2012. Pretty smart guys they are....the negotiators on the other side...not so much.
