I see this May Parking of the 756 a bit differently. I could be completely wrong here but I feel this was rushed (obviously, do to the lack of communication with internal as well as labor stakeholders) in an attempt to get some major cuts/fleet drawdown done before the economic picture starts to change. Kirby sees his old airline parking the 756 fleet. The numbers show we could do the same and he decides to strike. We will now be flying head to head trans-Atlantic from NY/ORD (when we start again) with 787 against AA 330/787 instead of using the 763/764. Absent including the airbus in the grounding, we have a less than 30% drawdown. I don’t think we will see the 12 737-900s return and I predict acceleration of older 320 retirements as well in June/July. Maybe we have a deal to sell some of the 756 airframes or even a deal to convert to cargo and operate on behalf of Amazon or someone (wishful thinking most likely). My gut tells me the economic conditions are going to improve in June/July and the optics will not favor retirement of an entire fleet like doing so today (with a week’s worth of terrible earnings/airline traffic forecasts etc) will. No announcement on the idling of the fleet being permanent or just temporary leaves us to worry and them (management) to continue strategic discussions on all fronts (buys them time to make decisions) as we all digest the data (both economic and viral) over the next few weeks.
