As IDE we had 87 CRJ's and 12 A319's.

There were 87 CRJ's, 33 328Jet's and 28-32 (not sure of exact number) J41's when it was ACA.

32 J41's and around 20-25 J32's at ACA in the good ole days

There's about 4 in CKB now, but there were more. I spoke to some pilots ferrying them down to Tuscon (to go on to a Mexican operator) and they had said the planes were basket cases. Apparently the duct tape and wal-mart shopping bags weren't as protective against the elements as hoped.
