Yesterday, there was an announcement that the QX fleet plan has changed, again.
Instead of parking several Q's by 2020, we're now pulling two out of the desert, so the plan has changed to a loss of 1 Q400 by the end of 2020, but the last three E175's are deferred until 2023 for some reason.
Since management seems to change their mind about the fleet every couple of weeks, I'm sure they'll have something completely different by the end of this year, but at least this latest announcement will make the Q400 seniority slightly less terrible for new people.

The three jets we had deferred have now been canceled.

But that doesn't necessarily mean the deferred ones were cancelled, right?
Unless I'm reading this wrong, it means they cancelled three of the ones Skywest would operate and deferred three QX jets for 2023. They didn't cancel those yet.
