Well if adding 717's to the mainline is a concession then that would be correct. The company has phased the 50 seaters out faster then expected and met or exceeded what is required by the contract. I believe they plan a final number between 100 and 125 and they are allowed 150. The number of potential 76 seaters was reduced in the contract however the total number of 70 plus 76 seaters was increased.
