Exactly. We are reducing DCI flying, but most of that has taken a back seat to replacing the 757 flying. In this economic environment it is more important to take seats out of the market than get rid of 50 seat jets. Now when the economy and demand come back management will once again have to decide to use a 30 year old 9 or a 10 year old 50 seater on a given segment.
As I have said before, this down turn, added with the cost of the D Checks on the 757 fleet have, for the time saved the 50 seat market.
I am sure that DCI will get restructured as each contract comes up to year five, but there costs are so cheap compared to Mainline, they will always be around on some level. I do see a few DCI carriers going bye bye though.
