It's my understanding that we are pulling 727's out of the desert but only to replace others that are on their way out there. Seems the mx to return a jet to service from the desert is cheaper than some of the overhauls required on the jets currently in service. This is my understanding because that's what the dude at the mx center told me when we recently picked up a jet there which came from the desert.
