Fleet simplification
In a recent corporate video, the SVP Fleet Supply Chain talked about future fleet simplification. He said we currently have 13 fleet families and 25 fleet types, and they're looking to take us down to 8 and 13 respectively. I wonder what the guesses are as to what we'll end up with.
Currently we have, recently had, or orignally planned to soon have:
* are already announced retirements. I'm not sure where he gets 13/25, as that's 12/27 and is what's shown on the fleet information page. Anyways, I'm wondering what the conjecture is on how we go from that to 8/13?
My wholly uneducated guess, without looking at anything like scope, aircraft age, or fleet count:

1. 717
2a. 737-700*

The 737-700 "announcement" was in the same video I originally referred to.

He’s stated several times the 737-700s “are retired.” They haven’t been, at least for July because they are still flying.
From various sources, the A319 will do EYW and we won’t be going back to TGU until we can fly into the military field NW of it.

I wonder why the -700s are going away, they are fairly new (much newer than the 319s)

There's only 10 of them. Why pay the costs associated with keeping a whole subfleet of 10 airplanes in the air when you 1. don't need the lift and 2. can replace the mission with other aircraft you have?
