Between the 190's, 757/767, A330-300's and the block 1 737's we are permanently retiring over 150 airplanes now, with rumors of the early 319/320's and some 777-200's to follow.

The retirements still work in our favor, but I wont be surprised if the seniority list shrinks between 3000-4000 when it's all said and done.
