Judging by the last year and a half of new management I have no reason not to trust them.
I agree completely, they are looking out for the long term health of the company by getting more 700s and 900s. You are correct, the 50 seaters are going away eventually so they might as well get something out of them while they still have the bargaining power.
I've been very happy with the new management so far and have no reason to mistrust them. They don't run a social welfare program so they have to have the best interests of the company first. That said they do seem to genuinely care about the employees and their well being.
