So let me see if I have this right. You're ticked because a company signed a contract to purchase an aircraft two years ago, an aircraft that is already paid for, an aircraft that is smaller more fuel efficient and newer than than the two aircraft it is replacing (thus less expensive to operate), and the sale of the other two aircraft will more than pay for the purchase of the one new one. They are clearly downsizing their flight department. I am not sure how you determine this is a bad thing.
