Guppies were replaced by... nothing, nothing at all.
Besides, CAL already had 737s to be used for the merger.
Well this is what you said in response to my post regarding the parking of our Guppies;
No scope provisions? Management parks mainline airplanes and replaces with 90 seat airframes and calls them RJs.
Strong scope? Management parks mainline airplanes and replaces with mainline airplanes.
Seems to me that the pilots do have control of what will be the replacement airplane.
So in this case, the 737 parking was NOT countered with replacement RJ's, so I'm not sure where your above quote came from.
Second, after I pointed this out, you made a sarcastic remark that seemed to insinuate that I was suggesting Tilton parked the 737 fleet to right-size for the merger. Maybe you didn't direct that at me, but you posted it in direct reply to what I said.
For the record, I have no idea whether Tilton parked the Guppy fleet for a merger, or if the fuel cost of the day gave him yet another excuse to shrink LUAL. The only one who REALLY knows is Tilton. And yes; he's pretty close to the devil to a lot of us
