That's what I heard as well. RA told them to go buy their own 319's and we would run them, but they can't find any used 319's. So then we were going to sell them the old 757's and run them for them, but they were too expensive. So finally the latest I've heard is we are thinking of taking the old 757's and running them as dedicated sports charter aircraft. I don't think the NBA deal is as big of a cash cow as everyone thinks it is.
