On skyhub, PB posted one of his Ops Updates that is short, but mentions 'adjustments' coming next week and that CR will be working on it over the weekend. Nothing concrete, but it sure sounds like they intend to publish a VEOP cleanup AE next week - probably late in the week. Would also fit the timeline to be able to start converting on 1 Oct.

717s going away? Like they were going away when the fleet retirement rumors were swirling?
The 717s are going to be here awhile (5 years at least)...and the 220 makes the least sense to backfill the 88/90s.

I’d expect the 220s to continue to open and operate longer routes as an entry point to 320 or 737 service. The 717 will remain the super-regional of our fleet.

All in good fun, I come here for the rumors. Thanks for sharing.
