That's true. But one will still have to balance the expected date of furlough with any potential move. The 850-900 are fine long term, but in the short term there's really no good solution for the rest.

He also said it is possible we may have to hire at some point.

Correction, "50 seaters" must be removed as the 900s are added.

And your management has never weaseled out of contract provisions?

I'm just asking...

Real question here. If they reconfigure the 200's to have less than 50 seats, must they be removed? Is it possible that Pinnacle could fly 200's with 49 seats and not violate the provisions of the conditions for acquiring additional 900's?
