Glen admitted during the call that they "may take jets out of the desert as demand warrants" if there is a robust recovery in European demand as they expect. Thoughts? Personally, as I've said before, I think the 767 isn't dead yet.

767, 717 & 320 that have been slated to leave are our flex fleets right now.

Retired airplane are always a resource. If the revenue capture requires them, they will be activated.

I thought it may have been a cryptic message regarding buying used jets.

With the scorched earth upheaval of the MOAD, I always figured they’d head fake the 777 retirements and not retire them after they got a lot of the pilots to retire. How many of those have we sold? Do we have any viable 777 airframes in the desert we could bring back? Or did we sell them to Amazon too?
