That statement should more accurately read “Currently, we are not aware of any immediate plans to park the fleet (145) fully and expect the EMJ to be around for the next few years.”

“..expect the EMJ to be around for the next few years.” is the important part of that statement.

The plan has been for the 145s to be parked in favor of 175s (170s) for some time, but AAG doesn’t want to put out the money to do so. They want FFD carriers like SKW and RPA to buy them, which is what has been happening as of late.

BTW, the original quote by Chato came from a recent union communication.
