SFO/LAX 756? Who knows! They could let it wilt naturally. There will still be 41 752s. Only the 16 UA 752s are goners right?
15 UA 752s..

Except for the fact that 15 of the CAL 752s were built before 1996 and only 9 of the UA 752s were built before 1996. So its likely to be those old CAL 752 that go away in greater number. Many of the UA planes flying the PS were built from 1997-1999 so they aren’t going anywhere.

This isn’t a legacy argument. The 15 going away are the PW aircraft that don’t do trans-Atlantic today. This will remove an engine/aircraft combo from the fleet leaving 41 757-200’s that can be used on transcon as well as short UK/Europe and, as they put it last week in a meeting; test markets. Kirby himself stated that he thought using the 757 in LHR (from EWR) was a waste of an expensive landing slot (and he mentioned it wasn’t competitive with widebody offerings from others) and currently, only the morning IAD flight is still a 757 (and he wants to move it to a 767). Ireland and certain Scottish markets will be 757 for a long time.
