I dunno...i suppose they could move larger aircraft onto somes routes to limit capacity cuts while reducing frequency. The fact United and others have ceased hiring and are asking for unpaid leaves seems to indicate growth went out the window. For us, you're correct. Sounds like most of the 319s are getting an extended break from the working life.
