I saw the notation on the press release about selling the aircraft. If I were a betting man I cant see BB letting any of his precious 170s go. I would be he would try to strike a deal with some of the codeshares to remove the smaller aircraft from service on say a 2 for 3 deal ( dump three 145's for 2 170's ) .... now the five not delivered yet.... those he might sell....
p.s. just spoke with someone in STL who said they were under the impression they had been placed into the hiring pool.... but that was just one guys take on it.
