I heard that TSA had removed the extra FA jumpseat and the XJT approved config requires that, so attaining those and installing them was one of the tasks on the list of things to do. These days, I would think it's a pretty low priority. Not sure where these airframes are at the moment, but there are a lot of 145s parked at TYS (an XJT mx base for those not familiar).
Thanks. There are a bunch of big decisions going on in Chicago about what to keep and what to retire these days. They are parking the entire 756 fleet until June 3rd for now. Being that Scott Kirby has repeatedly said that the 756 and 50 seaters could have a shorter than expected future with United, I’m interested in what he has to say next week during the town hall.
