We still own them, and sub lease them to Skywest, to park their 50 seaters. That way they can give those profits to 9E instead of Delta, which is really giving it to Delta, but lowers 9E's costs, which in turn lowers what Delta will pay Skywest after the rate reset. Which the parking of 50 seaters is dependent upon the delivery of the 76 seat jets, which is dependent on the delivery of the 717. But all of this might not be true depending on the interpretation of God knows who's, contract.
