Having said all that, expect your drop to tilt heavily towards 737 and 320 positions, with a smattering of 717, 220, and 757 spots. Mostly NYC with probably some other bases thrown in as well, just like the vast majority of drops have been for the past year.
I will add that based on this AE I would predict that the base offerings should stay pretty consistent with what they have been with a ton of NYC and ATL, a good amount of DTW and LAX, a handful of SLC and SEA, and no MSP slots.
I would also amnend your fleet prediction in that it looks like there will be very few, if any, unfilled 220B slots after this AE, but there will be a ton of 7ER.
