I know. I have no doubts about those numbers.

I was just arguing that old NWA planned on flying them longer. But, as I said earlier it's a moot point. I also agree with sailingfun that management has ZERO intention of finding a Mainline 100 seat airplane. It's most likely our pilot group will shrink come 2013 when the retirements start(if not sooner due to furlough) because the DC9s will go to the boneyard and our flying will be further hoared out.
