Parked them there about a month ago. Delta reduced, then cancelled most of our flying. The other 22 are "in service." By that I mean sitting at outstations and at JFK/ATL/MCO, waiting to fly uncovered flights by other DCI carriers.
Delta is still paying us enough for the leases and crews of the airplanes. Once the appeal goes through, we will likely lose that income.
