It's right around 100 airframes. Not including M88s, because I haven't heard anything about those being parked. So I can't include those.

Ok. I'm going to quote EXACTLY what you said.

From what's highlighted in red, I assumed you meant you think the A321 should pay more then the B757. My apologies for the misinterpretation.
EDIT: I see where the misunderstanding is. I mistakenly typed this:
You did say you wanted the A321 to pay what the B757 pays,
When I meant to type this:
You did say you wanted the A321 to pay MORE then what the B757 pays,
Sorry again.

What we can at least do now is have the 321 pay more than the 739, thus getting a boost like DL got with the 757/767 above the NW narrobody fleets. That is critical leverage in an SLI with a 737 operator!
Thanks for the answer.
