What?
Also our 200s are very new, and make money due to "favorable" lease terms. So outright parking them wouldn't make too much sense. Stranger things have happened though. Perhaps shifting them somewhere else. Or leaving them here and placing eagle's crjs at piedmont and 170s at eagle.
Pure conjecture of course I'm sure we will find out soon what the plan is.
