IMHO, what is planned is for these cities to be served less frequently but with much larger mainline jets, giving us the ability to serve more cities. (The way we used to do it, the way we made money as well. Getting back to the core business principles IMHO)
As I stated last night, it keeps people on property now, and will speed up the need for bodies as we see a recovery.
IMHO this deal was started before the AAI, CAL deal. We just waited for the correct time to announce it!

We’ve heard that
US Airways wants to sell their Embraer 190 jet fleet of 25 aircraft. Is there any truth to the rumor that we are considering acquiring these aircraft as more fuel-efficient replacements for the DC-9s acquired from NW?

Have not heard this, and we have no interest.
