Is it a concern that the airline might start shrinking again or will they be replaced with 175's as the other planes leave?
As stated above, it's very, very fluid. Right now, the best I can tell you... we'll have 44 E175s by the end of the year. There have been no announcements about exercising additional options. The CRJs are all slated to go to PSA eventually, but word on the street is that they have temporarily halted transfer of those aircraft due to PSA staffing (no actual confirmation of this rumor from the company at this time). The 145s appear to be staying around for a while, in some capacity - I have no idea if transfers to PDT are still happening or not. The 140s are slowly but surely being brought out from the desert - we're SUPPOSED to get all of them back onto the line, but staffing limitations may prohibit that. Stay tuned, as rumors/announcements change very often.
