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….

Yep, he thinks at least 30,000 WARN notices are going out next week.

I hope we see something in the FOU sooner rather than later about what will be parked. We have some clapped out 737’s and A320’s that could use a date with a PlaneTags chopper. Quite a few 757’s as well. Not to mention a lot of ERJ-145’s that deserve a trip to the desert.

Enthusiasm for waving goodbye to the older planes is a horrible take and needs a reality check. The best airplane is the one that puts food on the table. We have hundreds of older planes with heavy maintenance bills and if the juice isn’t worth the squeeze they are flown to the desert. Great that the company has options and hopefully knows when to pull the trigger on losing investments but they will park your peers with the same cold financial calculation. We don’t celebrate that. We sock money away when things are good and wait for the suck. We are wading into unprecedented and difficult political times internationally.
