If gas becomes too much and the 50 seats get reeled back, alot of jet drivers might find yourself taking a sizable paycut to fly more pax in a prop.
I don't disagree that it could happen but in the purchase Delta and 9E signed an agreement for both the 900's and 200's that go another 10+ years. I would be the last person to argue that Delta won't change their minds but with the SAAB's leaving (maybe) that lift will have to come form someplace.
I think the 144 200's are safe for the time being.
