Absolutely not true. United has taken 70 new planes in the last 12 months and parked 3 early 90's Airbus planes. We have 35 more MAX planes being delivered in 2023 still with 16 A-321 NEOs. The 787s start being delivered in 2023 with 1 a month until the end of 2024 and then it goes to 2 a month for 85 months. The 787s will replace about 40 767s total with about 160 growth 787s.

United is expecting 150 aircraft deliveries in 2024 and they want to hire 4,000 but probably won't be able to. They think they can do 300 new hires a month maximum.

United has hired 2,500 pilots in the last 12 months and they are finishing up a new sim building with 12 more simulators because of the training ramp-up. The 3/5 airframe number is BS and doesn't exist. United Fleet Website is public and shows all the deliveries and airframes being parked. Planes are being delivered so quickly we still have 800+ unfilled vacancies on each monthly bid, with 50-80 unfilled Captain on each one.
