I stand corrected. A lot of the A320s do appear to be sort of "long in the tooth".

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.

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

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….
