8 more 90's from SAS "almost a sure thing." Also pursuing 90's from China Southern now, and JAL. Those are higher priority than the saudi 90's, due to the complications with the MD-11/717 cockpit. Will probably qual NYC on 90 in the fall, ATL in the winter/spring.

11 75's out of storage for 2011. DC-9-40's now to be parked by Q1 '11, instead fall 2010.

conversion of SLC 76 to ER only big change for this bid. ATL likely to follow "at a later date."

Not planning on closing CVG anytime in the foreseeable future. That being said, foreseeable future is about 12 months.
At the SEA meeting, they said there would be some DC-9A activity on the next AE, and the rest of the AE positive. This presumably means newhires to those seats as well.

No more "base swaps" of aircraft (IE 320 to SLC/MD88 to MSP) for the foreseeable future.
