As long as they don't reverse the spell one day and you send an ATR72 and get a J41 in return....
Is there not a question that whatever any airline has on sale at the moment for the coming winter (routes, frequencies, equipment) is rather aspirational versus the reality of what might actually happen? I don't think Eastern would be alone in that. Loganair's schedule still has loads of ATR72s scattered around too, and BA still has high frequencies showing on a lot of routes that are hard to imagine happening.
Loganairs schedule has had the ATRs that were due to operate GLA/EDI-SOU replaces with ERJs now, removing the need for extra frames. However by the looks of the schedule the 2nd -600 they have is to enter soon. Anyways apologies for going off topic.
