I take it that the ability to change the removal of the remaining A319s from the fleet next year is not an option? 15 A319s are to be removed in 2024 per the article.

Can you elaborate on the expensive inspections for the A319s?

All of this is hypothetical and it's not like I've seen the contract with the companies that are getting our A319s...it just seems like paying for the inspections and then having those A319s flying again would be helpful right now given on average that 26 planes per month will be grounded next year and 41 total by the end of 2024. That being said I don't know how expensive or time consuming those inspections on the A319s would be.
