Who will say what? Company- 17 lines of flying, union 21 planes. DL paid for 36 refurbs, without any factual evidence that would be the number of airframes desired. I do know hours are being turned away due to staffing by pretty much all the dci's, so it comes down to who can staff what right now.
As a reserve almost all of my assignments this month have been related to "we picked something up from XYZ Regional."
Just curious what happens to the DL/DCI when marketing hours can't be flown but passengers have bought tickets.

200 will have more movement.
