Regardless, it's all a moot point because what we hear today will most likely change tomorrow. Heck, when asked about the plan for the DC9s DAL management said to investors "Yesterdays trash is today's treasure."
And today's treasure is tomorrows trash. His numbers and fleet plans are dead on. I see these 76 seat jets filling this gap nicely.
