Indeed it would. Not only to SKW, but also to the Legacies they have agreements with. 274 may not be the number. I think it's safe to say that the 135's my stay parked. Possible not, but it's a strong possibility. Especially when the next fuel spike comes. You can probably toss in the older 145's as well. Toss in the desire for the Legacy airlines to reduce 50 seat airframes, an even less amount.

Well, if the plan is/was anything like last time, JA will give the courtesy of hiring ALL the pilots that are on the street that used to fly those 274 planes. No need to buy flight time for them. Isn't that nice of him?
