I think this is exactly what will happen, and there will be a significant 320 base in BOS once the year has passed.

Surprised nobody has mentioned 11 WB deliveries in 2025. 3 WBs + undisclosed amount of 35Ks in 2026

The thing that has me more interested is our 339 order book is running out. If I remember correctly, we take delivery of the last of the ones on order in 2025. There's been some talk of the 35K order options being 339, but other places, I've seen it reported as all 35K options. There'll be some clarity on that in the 10-K in a couple weeks. Regardless, General Lee mentioned we might see something 2H25 and I'd think we need to reup more 339s; particularly if we're really going to retire the 763s this decade.

100% chance of that. The 220 is better than the 717 at everything except keeping the DC9 type rating alive. Once we get enough of them, they'll replace the ATL717 flying, but that could take 10 years to fully accomplish. Major economic events greatly accelerate fleet plans.

Is the 220 built to do the cycles that 717 flying commands? The DC9/717 is the short hop, high cycle King

Except it's not. The 717 beats the 220 on short hops in terms of efficiency. It's also cheaper to operate.

The 220 is built for long legs. They'll probably stick the 1960s dumpster fire on the 717 routes when it's retired.
