It appears the 20 planned A320 retirements for 2025 were moved up from the fall to ASAP while taking that capacity out of underperforming markets including all-nighters which is nice for junior crew. |

If you're in the bottom 50% of any airline list I would be very nervous. If things keep going like they are we'll be talking about more than just Spirit going bankrupt.
Fortunately we are staffed pretty well. If anything, hiring would just freeze. Planes slowly trickle in and we have the staffing for them. Retirements still going strong which absorbs the excess. |

Do we think any of these will be 757 and 767’s?

The Company did announce 21 Planes I am "hearing" all old 320's (moved up 8-10 months)
However more will be added if things continue to go south. Junky ass dirty dozen 900's and old old 800's |

Bye Bye 320's! LOL
In Unity... I hope this is sarcasm. I do believe you’re a UA pilot. Even though the sky isn’t falling this will lead to short term stagnation on that fleet or do you enjoy watching your fellow union brothers/sisters suffer. Not a lot of unity in your statement |

You mean that United won't have 30,000 pilots by the end of the year?
At least they can concentrate on their DEI programs. You know, what is really important. |

Huh? These are old planes, long-planned for retirement.
Yes, they are and they were planned to be removed in Q3/4. Like I stated I hope it’s sarcasm because this can/will affect the quality of life for the airbus pilots. laughing at planes being retired/parked is sophomoric, especially when he has his tag line of “in unity”. I don’t understand the rivalry between fleets. I spent my first 5 years on the bus and my last one on the 737. A plane is a plane. Every FO I flew with after coming to the guppy would ask me if I was happy to no longer be going to CID/DSM overnights and have the Caribbean overnights. I explained that without those CID/DSM I wouldn’t be a CA and they wouldn’t be at UA…. |
