Seem like G4 is in the process of replacing many of the MD80s and probably can't replace then fast enough.
Starting to see some issues on the bus but nothing as serious as the 80. They are not replacing the 80s right now. The AB is pure growth for now, at least while oil stays low. 1 or 2 a year may get retired but not as fast as they planned originally.
