DCI gets bigger jets
Alaska codeshare
MX and S. America codeshares
Virginia Atlantic
KLM/Air France

And the -88s are conveniently last to get cockpit upgrades. Reality is once all these -900s are up and running I bet SLC and MSP follow the path of CVG, MEM and ANC. That's basically five bases in five years.
Now that we are all displaced at least one or two seats its time for another merger! I am sure this is coincidence...
