Yes, instead we extended the 717s till 2030 and they'll have IFEs.

Not a word from the company on any of that. Just talk from pilots on forums.

Delete the contract portion and your statement is interesting! Let’s leave it at that for the moment.

We should give up a lot to get that, especially because they can easily re-engine a desert full of 50 seaters and L-10's. Or something.

Rumor is they're making a new one with less thrust, a much smaller elevator and double the deck angle in cruise. The numbers are pretty bad but the plan is to have a required crew tracker in the former FE station at all times for gotcha junior assignments thus forcing the entire pilot group down to 12 moveable days off a month which will more than make up for it.
