I think it is the right move.

Doesn't AA still have over 300 Mad Dogs?
The PW engines must be very expensive to operate in this climate. If they disposed of one Mad Dog per month it would take the best part of 3 decades to get them all off the property.

Just like BigFatDaddy said, it will take a very efficient plastic version of a 737 to interest managers in a replacement and even then, the MD's are just so good at doing the job it is going to be an uphill battle to justify $70,000,000.00 to replace a paid for DC-9.

Does UAL have any route rights still not being used from the Pan Am purchase?
Thank you.
Thank you.
