You guys do know that the word you're going for is "queue" right?

"Que" is the Spanish word for "what."

No no... My word choice was what I wanted to type.. Might not have been the pronunciation in your head, but made sense in mine

Yes, you are absolutely right the 200s will be going away starting in 2018. But US Airways does own about half of them which I'm sure will remain on property until they timeout. The others will likely be replaced with additional 900s if they have the staffing.

I think there is a good chance we'll be parking them by 2021 when the last lease expires. But for now they are being painted, first one just completed. I know all this stings but you should try to move past it.

The 200s have started going to paint. I'm not saying that means they'll be here forever, but they are apparently leasing very well since nobody wants them and until we can't staff them they're gonna stay. We all win as they go away though because it just makes the blended rate go up. Even if all 35 are gone, we still end up at 115 airplanes which is over double where we were a year ago, so upgrade might not stay at this ridiculous 6 month bs forever but that's not such a bad thing. I personally would like the captain to have more than 3 months off IOE as an FO...

Nothing stings. Doesn't affect me one bit. Just looking out for those that are going to PSA thinking that the 50 seat aircraft won't be parked. Endeavors 50 seat aircraft were on lease and were just painted and they are getting parked before the lease expires.

New hires need understand the shift the regionals are going through.

New hires also need to know not to listen to petulant little wise @sses like you who think they have a crystal ball, especially at a company they don't even work for.

But that was because Delta needed a victim for the reduction of 50 seaters and the 9E Bankruptcy allowed them to do so without paying any penalties to the other Delta Regional Operators.
