Can everybody get a grip here? We don't know 100% that we're losing the ENTIRE fleet. We know we're losing 23, so why is everyone acting as if we're losing all 49. Between now and 2011 there is lots of time to wait and see what happens with the rest of the fleet. I get that the writing is on the wall, but we never can tell what's around the corner. We have to remember that an airline is a business and if our saabs aren't making money for DL, then it only makes sense to get rid of them. Nobody knows for certain what the economics of the planes in todays environment is. Nobody knows the revenue and yield of all these small markets. Unfortunately, we're just along for the ride and can't do anything about it. Reality check... sometimes the world doesn't always revolve around us pilots.
