They'd be stupid to park them.

Welcome back!

Be careful, saying "stupid" and (implied) "airline management" in the same breath.

(FWIW, VA has CFM motors on their Airbuses while UA has V2500.)

And that is my sole focus since I don't control anything else.

The bean counters can figure the rest out and decide if it's worthwhile

our 737 have CFM's so parts would not be an issue and we fly two different engines on our 75/76 and 777's

Sorry, but the CFM's on the airbus are a very different engine than what we have on the guppies. Parts interchangeability, some, cost savings, probably not much.

I'm guessing Alaska will be operating those Airbi for quite a while. Too many to replace, they are fairly new, and efficient. Don't know what they might do with the interiors, obviously quite different branding.

Small problem being that Boeing is giving away 737s right now. I'm a bus driver here and would LOVE 40 new 320s!
