Block hours will be reduced. Old contracts will expire. 50 and 70 seat aircraft will slowly go to the desert. They will be replaced with 76 seat aircraft, and not on a 1:1 basis. It's only logical. They don't have to ask for a reduction of block hours, they are coming regardless. Only if another regional fails to uphold their contract, or fades off into the sunset, there will be no reason for block hours to go up.
