i would also imagine vacancy/displacement bids initially to get the west coast and DEN and IAH 756 bases closed and move the 756/767 flying primarily out of EWR and IAD with maybe ORD?
Overall good news for us!
Fleet plan for 2026 shows ZERO 757s being retired even though we are getting XLR deliveries this year. They said eventually we would start retiring some of the 757-200s and the 757-300 they want to fly until 2035 because they are the lowest CASM airplane we have on property.
