Aloha Cleared for Ch. 11 Exit

Judge Faris approved a reorganization that would allow AQ to exit bankruptcy protection as early as Dec. 15. ^

Something Banmiller said stuns me:

Replace older 737-200s with NEWER 737-200s? The last -200s were made in the mid-late '80s. The thought of flying on 20 year old a/c that will soon become MX heavy versus 30 year old a/c that are already MX heavy isn't appealing.

Replace the 737-700s? With what? Any ideas if they do?
