Wait and see, maybe Piedmont will pick them up. They have wanted either that or the Q400, who knows!

Those ATR 72s are probably still expensive for the FDX feeder fleet since they only buy the cheapest of the cheap...

Your right... but the fate of MSP and SLC will be a big question, so service to those places may be gone. There will be big cuts in the "new Delta" system. Delta has already said they will downsize MEM into almost nothing, and they are still looking into the numbers about which Northern hub they will keep. I bet SLC will stay and all of us in the NWA system will be moving around, and that all depends on which regionals they will keep.
