And don't be a smarta$$ and tell me the 146's are coming back.
Still flying -200’s, maybe scraping some new airframes from other regionals that can’t staff theirs or from foreign carriers. Fleet reduction, maybe 45-50 airplanes, still the same post 9-11 concessionary contract.
I don’t see them going away but someone would have to give up on scope to get bigger airplanes. Unless they came from another regional which is unlikely given the state of staffing.
