They are profitable today. That's all that means. Add in high MX and fuel prices, a desire for dual class, and an ever increasing age on those things, and they could disappear in large quantities in under a year.
The E120 demise was the propellers... no spare parts.. that and the 200's became so cheap it was better to put a 200 on the Gillette, Wy routes.. then it spread to moat the E120 routes. Minus the ones that couldn't meet the part 25 specs for the Jet.. aka Moab, UT ect...
