United has some older planes like the 756 fleet that seem to be prime targets to be parked, or even retired if this goes on for a long time. Watching the regionals will be interesting. This time around there are a bunch of 70/76 seat jets in the fleet. The 50 seat jets are now getting pretty old. Will they suddenly look better, or will the legacies find that they no longer make sense? Will the planes that TSA were flying transfer to you guys, or sit for a while? I guess we’ll all find out in the next couple of months.
