Some other things to consider with the numbers above:

Average fleet age:

AAL: 10.8
DAL: 15.8
UAL: 15.1

So they finance all these new planes through debt, that info is not new. But they are not “gasping for air”.

If you're taking the longer view...

Environmental concerns may well drive rapid transitions to newer, more efficient equipment types and that may have to happen inside the normal life cycle of aircraft depreciation. So somewhat older planes (vs. newer of the same type) might be better if you have to unload them earlier than anticipated.

If I were an airline manager, I'd be trying to guess when the new technology on the horizon will inject step-change fuel efficiency (and thus carbon efficiency) into the market and time my fleet planning accordingly.

Anyone already at the airlines with insights about the projected impact at your company would be great. Although the dynamics are changing so rapidly, at this point, who really knows the ramifications, tomorrow, in a week, in 2021...
you are absolutely correct. However it takes months to get through the training
so you’re likely not online until the fall

You could apply this logic to a vast variety of technologies, from more efficient engine options to supersonic and single pilot aircraft. Good luck with figuring that out

Worst case scenario...you get a cold and have a cough for a day or two.



Fuel prices are way down, the government is waiving the taxes for airlines, and everything will be back to normal in a month or two. Look for increased profits this year!

Just about any post I've ever seen that includes the phrase: "...this may not be the profession for you...," is usually trash and comes off as being written by a dunce. That post you're referring to proved no different.
