Even worse, UCH now is taking huge deliveries of "New" Guppies(NG). 5 years from now, when everyone else is taking delivery of NEO's and MAX's, UCH will be flying a fleet of fairly new old generation airplanes, trying to compete with "real" new airplanes using a lot less gas. And we will be flying them for the next 20 years. Not good.
Not good at all. Too bad for our careers that management at Alaska, American, Delta, and Southwest all saw the 737 NG and MAX as a POS. Pretty soon we will be the only ones flying them.
