And what makes a mix of M80 and A319 a "US" metal plane rather than an "AA" metal plane? I don't understand.
In mid/late December as well as January, at least on weekdays, the first plane DFW-HSV is Envoy, but the next plane is an A319, and the last plane of the day is an M80.
The equipment isn't finalized yet that far out. It's the same story on many of the routes where mainline is being cut. Do you really think they're going to just have a bunch of mainline planes parked somewhere to be brought back in mid-December for these routes and then have the regional planes parked somewhere after that?
