Oh, and that's with a management goal of a 10-12% operating margin...
125 of them are under long term contracts that Delta couldn't get out of, yet. Furthermore, why would management give back any scope the weren't required to? I'm sure if an efficient replacement comes along for the 200, they will be purchased for some markets.
We had several passengers this summer collapse due to heat stroke after flying on the 200, none on the 900.
