Publicly traded company, that kind of thing would probably have to be disclosed eventually, if necessarily not the day it happened.

I think they enjoy the flexibility of having the option to keep them or dump them when the leases are up depending on what the economy is doing or how well the competition is destroying us.
Those 319 leases are valuable. We want/need more 319s, but Airbus wants the assembly lines cranking out mostly 321s, so they’re hard to get negotiated/delivered. We were set to get a bunch of 319s from Frontier, but the deal fell through, I don’t know why. American is still looking though.

Straight from Isom's mouth in crew news. Not sure what other rumors there are.

United has 40 used 319s coming from EasyJet and Southern Air China and actively negotiating for more.
