It's all I have, Stay tune for probably couple or few to come out during PM Rush. Expand Like Garmon said, they're not going away real soon, but they might be out of service by Thanksgiving at the rate the 6700s and the 17500s are coming out.

rotjohns Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 The Orions are dwindling at West. It's the 5pm rush today and the only Orions that are currently out are 6044, 6058, 6069, 6132, 6156, & 6157. Unless I missed a route or the rest are running as emergency spares, this is probably the last of the bunch and these will be gone by Thanksgiving I'm sure.
