Well then all the Airbus 220 guys should have a blast too soon. Enjoy those 4+ hour fire breaks that the 717 and many of the A320 guys already get... even the 737 sees too much of that junk for a mainline. None of us should be seeing that if the planes are not sitting too. This is pure and simple taking line holders and scheduling them to be used as extra reserves.
