UAL parked the older 747s over the last 12 years.
You're right.. the youngest one was delivered on 12th May, 2000. Though, the oldest was delivered on 30th June, 1989.
Trust me, I want to see them flying as long as possible (and no, it's not because I want a seat on the Whale~)
All metal flown by mainline pilots is a good thing. Aircraft sent to the boneyard without a like replacement is a bad thing.
