I think we’ll see all ERs retired almost immediately. With the now under utilized 330, we just don’t need the ER lift.

The wild card is the 777, getting the ax if management enacts very deep cuts.
Well keep the 320s and 737-800s, with maybe tail-specific retirements.
I almost think they’ll have to open more 220 bases, just to carry the displacements. Cant have everyone sitting reserve in NYC! Ha!
I also think we’ll see the aircraft deliveries turned back on (220s, 321s, 330s) now that mgmt has had time to observe the landscape and figure out a plan. Will the 350s get turned back on, tho?
Deep cuts in all categories is what I keep hearing.
Don’t know of any other types, but 30% of 320s and 737s are being put in the long term storage.
