I don't think the 900's are growth aircraft at the moment. Those 757's were scheduled to be retired well before the first 900 arrived. They have delayed it a bit and this is about the third delay but they are still leaving at some point.

You know better than that. The 757s will be loooong gone before we see the DC-9 leave the fleet!

I was just pointing out that SD said the -900s would replace the older 75s. If we slow the retirement of the 75s that makes the -900 a growth aircraft in the short term. That's all.

Maybe we can park the last one over there in the museum next to the DC-3 we have over there. New hires can take their photo in front of that instead. Just watch out for the oil slick under the rear!
