Especially since it doesn't even remove a category since the 90's will stay. Earlier last month they were saying 900 were "funded" and a bit more was likely. To now say 700 is a sizable cut from just over a month ago.
The last I hears, the domestic theater was making the best money. I think you are right that this would lead to the -88s being around longer until replacements are on board. just my opinion.
