This is a newspaper getting hold of some information and going nuts with it. UA has already announced a small number of displacements from GUM because we are discontinuing 4-5 routes permanently because they weren't making money.

UA is actually in the process of refreshing the GUM 737 fleet. They are rotating out the old 737 and rotating in new ones(still old but new to GUM). They are retrofitting those aircraft with a new cabin and slimline seats specifically for the GUM operation.

This newspaper is way out in left field. They are correct no pilot will lose their job, UA is discontinuing unprofitable routes and some pilots will be displaced.

God help them if they had seen what happened to DEN, SEA, LAX and IAH!
