Thanks for the reply sailingfun. Since it sounds like this AE will be a 365 day conversion window, & the plan is to have the 30/40's parked by January 2011, does anyone think that there might actually be a surplus on the DC9? The DC9 fleet will essentially be cut in half, so would that be accounted for in this AE?
