First off, you are quoting someone else as that doesn't sound like anything I have said. Please provide the full quote so we can attribute that comment to the correct person.

Secondly, United doesn't even have 150 757's in their fleet. Our combined fleet only comprises 138 757-200 series jets and of those, 41 are new, Rolls Royce powered, ETOPS and winglet equiped Continental jets with 2 cockpit jumpseats so YES, I am correcting you here. I am pretty confident that around 85-90 UAL 757's are targeted for replacement over the next five years with the remaining ETOPS 757's (8 or so?) staying around for a good while. Remember I said this as the first bid post SLI will have a separate category for these aircraft as they will be flown on domestic routes and Mexico/Central America by separate category of pilots that will not be trained on the 767-400. If domestic 757 is someone's thing, it will be a perfect gig that comes with displacement rights when he/she is surplused off the equipment as the airframes are retired. I do not believe the 767-400 will be fenced at all so what I am saying here is that I believe the 757's slated for retirement will be a separate category, available for bid by anyone who can hold it post SLI, just like the 756 catagory which will contain all the other aircraft(757-300, 767-300, 767-400).

Again, the quote above does not sound like me. I am not trying to be argumentative. Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
