In fact, someone was telling me just yesterday that supposedly our guys went to pick up a 717 and it was still in AirTran paint. Supposedly it had to be delivered because of a 76-seater showed up too early. I wasn't there, I don't know.
Ask during the next base visit. My understanding is Delta will order the rest if they can stabilize Mesabah/Pinnacle/Endeavor. Mesabah says the employment situation there is not stable enough to spend the money yet.
