I was just about to ask the same thing. Was there any substantiated threat to downsize or eliminate PSA, or was it simply fear mongering?

The fact that you guys say the -200s are sticking around is proof you got fleeced. Parker never had any intention of parking those airframes; he just wanted to see what he could get for free from some stupid pilots.

I'd say you gave him far more than he expected. Having looked at your 70/90 seat rates, he's saving money placing them with PSA. Win-win for him: concessions and low rates for the new large RJs.

Nicely played.
