The what questions now, what replaces the 9 in MEM and MSP and please tell me these are "growth mainline" aircraft in ATL. As in 50 seaters get flushed, 70 seaters become 50, 76 become 70 and 9's replace RJs. Please please please.
BTW, I saw NWA colors 9s in DTW on the odd A-side this morning, were those the 40s on their way out? Sad. Now we have a fleet of 34 -50's.
