There are 18 frames available in the current NWA scope, not 23. As for the new DL scope, we're already over the limit, when you add up all the 76ers from all the airlines. IMO our growth is going to start with the Freedom 7 and go from there. Of course, if Compass is wiped off the map that frees up a lot of 76er opportunity. Just sayin...

Before the current DL scope cap given up in Ch11 of 76 seat seats, it was 70. Skywest took delivery of 900s configured for 70 seats. It would be so easy for the new DL to allocate 900s with 70 seats in them and then as manline grows, more 900s can be operated, reconfigure the planes.

Whatever the reasons, we're positioning for growth beyond the 4 more 900s we've got coming. Again, you all do the math, but to stick your head in the sand and ignore the facts is just shortsightedness.
