Yes the moderator team has noticed this, and some changes have been made.

Funny how as soon as United's Guppy fleet was parked and over 1400 pilots furloughed that a merger was announced.

CO as well parked all 73-500,300 and 76-200 and furloughed in 08. United parked the 73 and furloughed in 08. That is all 2 years before the meger. Every major airline parked jets after 08 because they all were losing money. Your revisionist history is twisted.

New users have to have been registered for 30 days and have at least seven posts before being allowed to create threads. Some of the auto filters may treat them differently too, I don't have access to that stuff though.

When I came back from furlough in 2013 we still had to learn the 737-500 in the sims, but the last one was retired while I was waiting for IOE so I didn’t fly it on line. This was around May 2013. So while all UAL 737’s were retired by 2009, that was not the case with CO 737-500’s. I’m pretty sure the CO 767-200’s weren’t retired until 2013 either, but I’m not certain like I am about the 737-500.

So what your saying is that you never flew a 73-500 or 300 and never seen a 76-200.

Not at all, I flew the 737-300 and -500 at United before I was furloughed in 2008. When I came back on the CO side in 2013 they were still flying the 737-500 (they had not been retired in 2008 as you previously stated). But by the time I got to IOE in May 2013 they had just retired the last 737-500.

I have never flown a 767-200, only the -300 and -400.

So what your saying is that CO didn't retire any aircraft because of the gfc in 08 and 150$ oil. I wonder why they then had to furlough pilots?
but you never flew a 73-500 and 300 or seen a 76-200 when u came to CO in 13.
