I know you said the 30 are growth but are the 200's staying till the 30 get out on the line? I don't know how many 50 seaters are in the AMR system but I would guess that they would follow suit like Delta and reduce the amount of 50 seat feed. Granted this wouldn't have to come out of PSA and can be taken out of any of the other regionals.

I'm sure that's the plan, what you and the rest of PSA yes voters forget is you still have to staff that flying. This isn't 2003.

It's going to get increasingly difficult to staff for everyone moving forward as every regional airline enjoys historic amount of movement and staffing problems.

Not saying that this is happening or starting a rumor, but one has to keep in mind that these airplanes could be exchanges. Glad to hear that PSA's agreement with management is being honored, hope the best for them.
