Net fleet count would probably remain the same. This helps to bring the net fleet count over at PDT up and continues to make all 3 WOd carriers closer to the same size and brings more flying under AAG, but I digress...

As for RAH, Parker and Co knew this was coming since they had to have been in negotiations since the RAH contract got signed to get more money from AAG.

Anytime a "big announcement" has been announced, yes, they are always underwhelming.
