There's more flights on bigger airplanes to DTW. Problem is either DTW, MSP or JFK, you're gonna get jammed up with all the commuters out of MEM. I'd imagine a lot will give up and move.

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.

At this point, I doubt we are going to furlough. The company has already said no furloughs in 2013. The new CEO was in the crew room this morning and hinted that the 200s are staying much longer than anticipated along with the new 900s coming. He also said it is possible we may have to hire at some point.

The 200s must be removed as the 900s are added.

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

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?
